DescriptionThis pressed glass salt cellar has a smooth, flattened edge at the top opening. The central body of the vessel includes a variety of protruding, prism-shaped embellishments across the entirety of the surface. Observing the interior of the cellar, the backside of the prism form is visible, creating a repeating pattern of a square-like shape with flattened edges on all sides. The underside of the prism shows a circular base and includes protruding, embellished rays spanning from the center of the surface, creating a flower-like motif.On View
