Salt Cellar

Marius Hammer

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a silver salt cellar in the shape of a boat. The boat is curved with a raised end on the left and a lower end on the right with an ornate curled decoration. The base of the boat is wide and flat. The boat is decorated with colorful enamel inlays. The colors include red, green, blue, and yellow. The inlays form floral patterns and geometric designs. The background is black at the top and fades to white at the bottom. A shadow is cast by the boat. The overall design and craftsmanship suggest it is a piece of art. The title of this piece is "Salt Cellar" and the artist is Marius Hammer.
