Antique Vintage Sterling Silver Cut Glass Set 6 open Salts in Box (3197)

Set of 6 sterling silver overlaid cut glass open salts in their original, fitted box.

Made early 20th century.

Each salt is a little over 1 1/2 inches diameter and slightly under 1/2 inch in height.

The salts have a nicely cut floral looking sun burst that covers almost the entire bottom surface.

The rims are entirely covered in silver and the sides have a scrolling design in silver overlay, in the Art Nouveau style.

Each salt is hallmarked - engraved marks are difficult to read, but appear to be 925 over 1000 FINE and 3 circles, the central one with a capital A in it, followed by number eg 3C or 96.

The condition of all of the salts is very good, with no chips/cracks/restoration.

The box is 7 1/4 - 7 1/2 inches square.

The fitted bottom is made of deep forest green velvet.

The rest is embroidered silk in the same colour.

Besides a little wear to the silk on the corners, the box is in good condition. 

The bright gold coloured clasp is very pretty, but is missing the little latch that connects top to bottom (see 'photos).
