Description from the seller
Refined and exclusive pair of vintage Belfiore salt cellars/spice holders in fine 925 sterling silver, beautifully hand-crafted and enhanced with their removable inner containers in deep cobalt-blue glass. This extraordinary set stands out for its highly captivating artistic design with sculptural appeal, featuring handles depicting relief cherubs supporting cornucopias, a symbol of prosperity and timeless elegance.
