AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Shell-shaped salt cellar with spoon – Spanish silver 915 and French Minerva 950 spoon – 20th century / late 19th century
Weight of the salerón: 46 g
Weight of the teaspoon: 7 g
Total weight: 53 g
Dimensions of the salerón: 10 × 6 × 5 cm
Spoon dimensions: 8 × 2 × 1 cm
Material: Spanish silver 915 and French silver 950
Elegant and refined shell-shaped salerón, crafted in 915 thousandths Spanish silver, with a design inspired by the rocaille style and the natural forms of late Baroque. The undulating reliefs and the chiseled work stand out for their beauty and the artisanal mastery of Spanish workshops from the 20th century.
The saleron is accompanied by a French teaspoon in 950 thousandths silver, marked with the prestigious Minerva hallmark, used since 1838 to certify the highest quality silver in France. The teaspoon features a fine decorative design, typical of the late 19th century.
Brands and origin
In the salt cellar, Spanish hallmarks can be seen, including the star, which corresponds to artisan workshops that used 915 silver.
The spoon is tested with Minerva 950, a symbol of first-grade French silver.
Very good overall condition, with light patina consistent with its age. No dents or deformations. The spoon retains all its decorative details.
