The Saltcellar by Leaded glass has a wide, shallow bowl with a textured surface. The bowl is attached to a short stem and a circular base, also textured. The glass appears clear and colorless. The base of the glass is wider than the bowl. The background of the image is white with a gradient that darkens at the top.
