Modestly sized at 1 3/4" diameter, 1 3/8" wide, and weighing just over .5 T. oz., this napkin ring could have been part of a child's set (along with a mug, plate, and/or porringer for example), although not necessarily.
It has a three lobed body, the top and bottom ones of which are embossed in an Ivy and Vine pattern.
Again, this naturalistic portraiture is pastoral, almost naive, in its theme and could suggest the innocence of a child.
The interior is finished in a bright gold wash and stamped "Sterling" and with model number "1678," but absent a maker's mark.
Late 19th century in manner, this was never inscribed or monogrammed and remains in perfect estate condition. It is free of dents, bends, or burrs, the gold is intact, and the finish is bright.
