AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The two salt shakers are each supported by three small feet with pinecone terminals (the pinecone is a symbol of fortune and well-being). The rim of the salt shakers is decorated with palmettes. On both, a MF monogram is engraved; at the bases of the small bowls there are the Partenope hallmarks facing to the right with N8 beside. The silversmith's punch is clearly visible: GS, Giuseppe Sorbilli 1797.
