Salt cellar - .800 silver

Elegant sculpture in 800 silver depicting a frog, executed with notable care in the details. The surface features a refined relief work that realistically reproduces the amphibian's skin, while the belly is smooth and glossy, creating a pleasant aesthetic contrast. A naturalistic style that recalls Buccellati's works.

The eyes are set with two green stones (likely glass or glass paste), which lend expression and character to the object.
There is a circular insert inside the base, which suggests its use as a small decorative container, probably a salt shaker.

On the body the '800' hallmark is clearly visible, confirming that it is made of solid silver 800/1000.
A highly captivating piece, ideal for collectors of figurative silver, animal lovers, or to enrich a collection of antique decorative objects.

Condition: good, with normal signs of wear and a slight patina consistent with age, which enhances its authenticity.
