Silver Tableware Auction

925 silver salt shaker with a fish-shaped design, featuring meticulous engraving and chiseling work. 
The relief of the scales, the texture of the body, the fin design, and the pierced front with holes through which salt or pepper is poured stand out. It features inlays in the eyes (apparently cabochon green stones or emerald-like glass paste), a finish very common in figurative silver pieces of a certain quality. 

Please pay special attention to the photographs as they form part of the description.

Dimensions: 7 cm high x 6.5 cm deep x 4.5 cm wide.

Weight: 23 g.
