Saltcellar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Saltcellar by Cristóbal de Figueredo features a clear glass object with a wide mouth and a narrow base. The object has a short stem and a round base. The body of the object is wider at the top than at the bottom, with a decorative pattern of faceted geometric shapes. The base of the object is flat with a decorative edge. The object appears to be made of transparent glass. The background is white with a gradient that darkens at the top.
