Rouen Faience, Early 18th Century. A Set Of Two Salt Cellars

Earthenware provided a cost-effective alternative to expensive silver serving pieces on elegant tables, following the government’s ban on such items, which were sent to be melted down to finance the war in the early 18th century. 
This is how these charming little salt cellars, produced by France’s major earthenware centers, came to be. 
Here are two pieces made in Rouen, octagonal in shape, decorated with well-documented friezes, and each featuring, in the center of the bowl, a design of either a bouquet or a cluster of small flowers. 
They are not the same size (a difference of a few millimeters) nor do they share the same decoration, but it’s nice to see them together.
One of the two bears a pretty intertwined DF monogram. 
A few chips, no cracks, and in very good condition for pieces that aren’t all that common.
