Dating from around 400BC, the Hoxne Hoard ‘Empress Pepper Pot’ is the oldest known surviving silver pepper pot, found in Suffolk, in the UK in 1992. Sterling silver pepper pots however really only start to be seen a lot later in the UK, during the 18th Century, when the use of condiments on the table became more commonplace, although silver pepper pots at this time would have been a luxury and a sign of wealth. Early 18th Century examples are rare and highly sought after, and novelty and 20th Century pieces by designer silversmiths are also very collectible today.
