Lot 237:
A Collection of 28 Cut Glass and Lead Crystal Open Salt Cellars
Description
This collection consists of 28 individual open salt cellars, also known as salt dips, crafted from clear cut glass and lead crystal. The assortment features a diverse range of geometric forms, including circular, oval, rectangular, hexagonal, octagonal, and boat-shaped (navette) examples. Decorative techniques include intricate hand-cut patterns such as strawberry diamond, hobnail, and cross-hatching, alongside vertical fluting and starburst-cut bases. Several pieces display scalloped, serrated, or notched rims. Notable designs within the group include a navette-shaped dish with fan-cut terminals and a salt with two distinct peaked sides. The lead crystal examples exhibit sharp, crisp facets and high light refraction. No maker marks, signatures, or acid-etched stamps are visible on any of the pieces.
