Saltcellar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Saltcellar by Pablo Picasso. The image is a black-and-white photograph of a short-stemmed glass goblet. The goblet has a wide, round bowl with a narrow lip. The bowl is supported by a short, thick stem with a rounded base. The base of the goblet is a flat disc. The glass appears to have a subtle texture and reflectivity. The goblet sits on a flat surface against a light-colored background.
