Lovely antique hallmarked sterling silver lidded salt cellar, raised on four elegant feet and complete with its original Bristol blue glass liner. Fully hallmarked for Birmingham, 1924.
This charming early 20th-century piece exemplifies classic English silver craftsmanship, combining refined proportions with practical design. The gently domed hinged lid opens to reveal the vibrant Bristol blue glass liner, which provides a striking contrast to the polished sterling silver exterior while preserving the interior from corrosion. The four raised feet and balanced form lend both stability and visual appeal, making it an attractive addition to any antique silver collection or well-appointed dining setting.
A highly decorative and functional table piece, ideal for collectors of fine British silver or those seeking an authentic period accent.
