This Victorian open salt cellar dates from the 19th century and takes a circular, barrel-shaped form in cranberry pink glass. The exterior carries hand-applied gold leaf decoration depicting trailing vine leaves and tendrils, complemented by a gilded rim and a French silver salt spoon resting inside. The spoon displays a twisted handle, hand-engraved floral motifs along the stem, and a floral trefid finial. Measurements stand at 5 cm high by 5.5 cm wide and 5.5 cm deep. Positioned on a sideboard top, this piece serves as a decorative tableware item suitable for formal dining settings or as part of a display collection of period glassware. The construction combines moulded cranberry glass with metallic gilding and precious metal hardware, showing a firing flaw at the base consisting of an internal dirt inclusion from the production process alongside good overall condition for both components.

FAQs

Moser glass originated in Carlsbad, Bohemia, during the mid-nineteenth century, gaining international recognition for high-grade crystal and decorative techniques. Cranberry glass was produced by adding gold salts to molten glass, producing a distinct pink-red hue that became highly popular in late Victorian dining service accessories.

Cranberry glass relies on a colloidal gold additive during the melting process to achieve its characteristic pink colour. The gilded leaf motifs were applied by hand using liquid gold suspensions, which were subsequently fired in a kiln to fuse the decoration permanently onto the glass vessel.

Authentic pieces feature refined hand-painted gilt decoration, polished pontil marks on the base, and smooth wheel-ground rims. The weight of the glass, high clarity, and precise hand-engraved silver accessories are additional indicators of period manufacture.

Small open salts can serve as functional condiment holders for specialty flakes, individual butter dishes, or decorative accent pieces on a dining table or sideboard. Pairing detailed glass vessels with complementary metal cutlery adds texture to contemporary settings.

Hand wash the glass in warm water using a mild dish detergent, avoiding abrasive pads that could wear down the gilded surface. The silver spoon should be cleaned separately using a dedicated silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish without submerging delicate gilding.
