Antique 1899 Victorian Sterling Silver Salt

This is a beautiful antique solid silver salt bowl from the late 1800s. It has its original blue glass liner inside and would be ideal for serving condiments or for storing small items in.

It comes in a gift bag and would be a great present.

The salt has a very pretty pierced design to the sides and four elegant legs. It has a lovely elegant shape to it and the original cobalt blue glass liner inside. 

It was made by Joseph Rodgers and Sons and it was hallmarked in Sheffield in 1899. It features the hallmarks, maker’s mark and their sponsor’s mark on one side of the salt.

Condition

The salt is in good condition with the silver shiny. There’s a few tiny tarnish spots on the rim of the salt. There’s also tarnish inside the silver frame where the glass liner goes but can’t be seen when it’s in place. The liner is in very good condition and can easily be taken in and out to clean.

Size

It measures 4.5cm in height (1 3/4 inches). It measures 8.5cm by 6cm for the width and depth (3 3/8 inches by 2 3/8 inches). The silver frame weighs 45g.
