Silver Salt with Cobalt Liner
This antique silver salt features a beautifully crafted, three-footed base adorned with delicate putti heads. The silverwork exhibits intricate detailing, and the piece is completed with a vibrant cobalt blue glass liner, adding a striking contrast to the silver. Hallmarked with an 18th Century Paris hallmark, this salt embodies the elegance of the Louis XV period. Weighing 81.79g, it is a fine example of French silversmithing.
Condition and Collectibility
This silver salt shows signs consistent with age and use, including some surface wear and patina, which contribute to its antique character. The cobalt glass liner is intact, though may exhibit minor imperfections typical of antique glass. This piece would be a desirable addition to a collection of antique silver, French decorative arts, or salt cellars, offering a glimpse into the refined tastes of the 18th century.
