AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant English salt shaker made in Sterling 925 silver, hallmarked in Birmingham in 1906, during the Edwardian period.
The piece presents an attractive quadrilobed shape with a wavy outline and a softly domed body, supported on four small decorative feet with vegetal motifs.
The interior is gilded, creating an elegant contrast with the exterior silver. The gilded interior, in addition to its decorative function, was traditionally used in silver salt shakers to protect the metal from direct contact with salt.
The piece retains its official English hallmarks, including the passant lion corresponding to Sterling 925 silver, the Birmingham Assay Office anchor, and the date letter “g,” corresponding to 1906.
The salt shaker is accompanied by a small spoon of Russian manufacture, circa 1940–1950, made of plated metal, from a period later than the shaker.
