This is an elegant antique silver salt cellar featuring a deep cobalt blue glass liner. The silver body is smooth and polished, with a curved, footed design resting on three cabriole-style legs. The cobalt glass insert is removable, designed to protect the silver from corrosion due to salt exposure.
This type of open salt cellar was commonly used in the 18th to early 20th centuries before modern salt shakers became widespread. The deep blue glass was a popular choice, as it added contrast and visual appeal to the table setting.
Based on the style and craftsmanship, this piece is likely of English or Continental origin, possibly Georgian or Victorian. It may have maker’s marks or hallmarks on the underside, which could provide more details on the origin and purity of the silver.
