Saltcellar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two dark-colored glass goblets, likely made of dark purple or black glass. The goblets have a wide mouth and a narrow base with a decorative ring in the middle. The base of each goblet is round and flat. They are positioned side by side on a surface, with a light-colored background behind them. There are two small white labels; one under the left goblet with illegible text and one under the right goblet that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". The image is in black and white. The title of the piece is "Saltcellar" by an unknown artist.
