Saltcellar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a glass bowl titled "Saltcellar" by an unknown artist. The bowl is made of dark-colored glass and has a scalloped edge. It is sitting on a flat surface, and the background is a plain wall. The bowl is decorated with eight circular protrusions around its body, each surrounded by small bumps. The bowl's base is circular and flat. The bowl appears to be sitting on a table or shelf, with a shadow cast to the left.
