About this work
Tin salt cellar, three-part, cylindrical with an elongated bell shape. The two lower parts have a cavity on the upper side for salt or spices. On the middle part fits an onion-shaped lid with a round ball on top that ends in a spike and has four holes. This part could originally probably be unscrewed. The bottom of this consists of a tin plate. Traces of silvering are visible.
