Kingsdown Antiques has dated this piece to the 1920s.
The glass is decorated with frosted floral designs, giving a soft, decorative contrast.
The silver mount at the shoulder is finished with a beaded rim that frames the top neatly. A silver foot with a leaf-and-scroll border adds weight and a distinctly decorative finish. This type of covered salt was made to keep salt dry and presentable between courses – circa 1920.
It sits beautifully among other antique dining accessories, from mustards to cruets.
