The Salt Cellar by Saint-Porchaire is a ceramic piece with a predominantly white base color. The object has a wide, flat base with a brown and white pattern on it. The base supports a short, thick leg that features a male face with a beard at the front. Three legs, each ending in a foot with a yellow and blue design, extend from the body. The body of the object is octagonal and features a green, yellow, and brown color scheme with various patterns, including lines and geometric shapes. On top of the body, there are two small handles on either side. The top surface features an octagonal section with a green border and a central white rectangle containing a black design resembling a crest or coat of arms. The object rests on a dark gray surface with a black background.
