Salt

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Silver salt cellar, titled "Salt" by Robert Cruickshank. The cellar has a wide, shallow bowl with a wavy rim that curves upwards at both ends. The bowl is supported by a short, narrow stem that flares out into a flat, circular base. The base has a decorative edge with a series of small, raised lines. The entire piece has a worn, tarnished appearance with visible signs of aging and use. A small, indistinct mark is engraved on the inside of the bowl. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
