Ribbed Glass Salt Flask And Silver Vermeil Frame. XIXth Century. Salts

Large and interesting salt bottle with a large vermeil frame dating from the second half of the 19th century.

The bottle is cylindrical, the body and the lid are decorated with very fine parallel streaks. This work gives it a pleasant grip and a very modern appearance.

The large silver-gilt frame acting as a hinge is decorated with a molded vegetal frieze. It is also chiselled with quatrefoil motifs.

The bottle is complete with its internal emery glass stopper.

The frame is hallmarked:
. Boar's head for silver since 1838
. Goldsmith's hallmark not very legible, probably AG with an unidentifiable mark


Charming salt bottle, very interesting with its striated decoration and its wide vermeil frame. This type of bottle with a large glass lid and a large vermeil frame is typical of Dutch productions of the same period, but it is indeed a French manufacture, probably inspired by the Netherlands.
