Standing Salt

The image shows a silver standing salt. The standing salt has a hexagonal base with three ridges around the bottom edge. The base supports a short, narrow, cylindrical stem that flares out slightly at the top. The stem features two horizontal grooves around its center. The top of the stem has a decorative, ridged edge. The shallow dish at the top of the standing salt has a square shape with outwardly curved corners and sides that slope downward. The dish features two spouts on opposite sides that curl up and outward. The decorative elements suggest an older design. The background is gray. The standing salt is by John Allen.
