AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

These 2 antique salt cellars by Emile Puiforcat are being offered in perfect condition.

Both salt cellars bear the corresponding hallmarks.
The Minerva head is easy to make out with a magnifying glass, but very difficult to photograph.
The glass inserts are original and completely undamaged..

Everything is in excellent condition, without any damage.
I have deliberately not cleaned or polished the pieces. Everyone can do that as they see fit.

Please take a look at the photos. I hope they give a good impression of the condition.
