Vintage Soviet Filigree Open Salt Cellar – 910MMET with Glass Liner

A finely crafted vintage open salt cellar, beautifully detailed with an intricate flower and leaf vine pattern in the traditional filigree style. The delicate openwork design is complemented by a removable clear glass liner, combining practicality with ornamental charm.

Stamped 910MMET, this mark is associated with Soviet-era Russian tableware produced primarily during the 1960s–1970s. Often referred to as Russian “Hommet” filigree, these pieces were typically crafted from melchior (nickel silver) rather than solid sterling silver, and were sometimes gilded or enamel-accented. The “MMET” marking denotes metal, distinguishing it from higher-grade Soviet silver marks such as 875 or 916. Pieces bearing this mark are valued as decorative vintage collectibles, admired for their craftsmanship and distinctive regional style.

This example displays elegant floral and vine motifs with refined detail, making it ideal for display, table setting, or as part of a curated collection of Soviet-era decorative wares.
