Rare Vintage Capodimonte Reuge Pepper Grinder Mill Music Box “How Dry I Am” Swiss Musical Movement. This vintage, collectible mid-century piece is a tough one to come by! It is in great shape and good working order! Music does NOT play. It is constructed of a porcelain Capodimonte center, with wood and brass fittings above and below it.
The Reuge Swiss Musical Movement is set into the base and should play “How Dry I Am” by Irving Berlin. A brass gilt faun stopper can be removed from the top, where the pepper can be inserted. Then when moving the gilt brass crank, the ground pepper will be ejected from the brass lion face on the front of the grinder. It measures approximately 6ʺW × 4.25ʺD × 11.75ʺH.
