An extraordinarily large Sterling silver pepper mill modelled after the famous Hatteras Lighthouse in North Carolina USA (known for its double-helix striped design), features engraved brickwork to the lower section, with linear details encircling the cylindrical tapered body and a balustrade with beaded detailing, terminating in a pointed finial at the top. Made by Juwelier Schimmelfeng of Hamburg, Germany this was most likely a special commission piece made in the early 20th century.
