Saltcellar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Saltcellar by Alberto Giacometti: A black, shiny object with a wide mouth and a narrow base, resembling a goblet or chalice. The object has a rounded bowl with two small chips on opposite sides of the rim. The bowl is attached to a short, narrow neck that flares out into a wide, flat base. The object appears to be made of dark-colored metal or stone, with small speckles or scratches on its surface. The background of the image is white.
