Pair of Portuguese Nautical Silver-Mounted Shell Salt Cellars with Spoons
Origin: Portugal, Lisbon
Date: Circa 1985–2000
Materials: Natural seashell, sterling silver (925/1000)
Hallmarks: Portuguese “Águia” (eagle) mark for Lisbon, post-1985
Dimensions: Height 3.5 cm (1.38 in); Length 6.5 cm (2.56 in)
Includes: Matching silver-mounted spoons
Description
A refined and collectible pair of Portuguese salt cellars, crafted in natural shell with sterling silver mounts and feet, each accompanied by its original silver spoon. The silver rim follows the organic form of the shell, creating a beautifully functional object with strong decorative appeal.
Marked with the official Portuguese “Águia” hallmark, used in Lisbon after 1985 to certify 925 silver purity, this set likely dates from the late 20th century, reflecting both traditional silversmithing techniques and whimsical coastal inspiration.

Excellent vintage condition. Shells are intact with natural sheen and subtle surface variations. Hallmarks are clean and legible.
