AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique Silver Bird-Shaped Salt Cellar
Charming antique silver salt cellar modelled as a small bird, finely detailed with realistically rendered plumage, wings, head and tail.
The body is hollow and fitted with a hinged opening to the underside, allowing the piece to be filled with salt. Its compact zoomorphic design and carefully worked feather decoration give the piece considerable character and decorative appeal.
The salt cellar does not bear visible hallmarks; however, the metal has been professionally tested and confirmed as silver.

Decoration: Finely modelled and chased feather detail
Marks: Apparently unmarked
Period: Probably late 19th / early 20th century
