About the Item

This striking oval sterling silver salt cellar by International Silver showcases a refined interplay of materials and form, with a deeply saturated cobalt glass liner encased within a finely crafted reticulated sterling body. The outer silver casing features a detailed scale-like cutout pattern, reminiscent of fish or dragon scales, allowing the vivid cobalt blue to shimmer through the openwork in a fluid, almost aquatic effect. The sterling framework is gracefully proportioned—measuring 2.5 inches in length, 2 inches in width, and standing 1 inch high—offering a subtle yet sculptural presence on the table. The pierced “scale” design is not only decorative but also functional, giving the piece a light, airy elegance while emphasizing the contrast between the cool silver and the rich interior blue. The removable cobalt glass liner is original and intact, perfectly fitted to the sterling shell. It serves both as a protective insert and as a stunning visual centerpiece, its jewel-like hue deepening the overall aesthetic of the cellar. Stamped with the maker’s hallmark for International Silver, a prominent American silver manufacturer known for its craftsmanship during the early to mid-20th century, this piece reflects both Art Deco and neoclassical influences. It exemplifies the period’s attention to detail and decorative refinement, while remaining versatile enough for use today. An eye-catching addition to any fine dining setting or silver collection, this salt cellar marries form and function with graceful, timeless style.
