Austrian Solid Silver Set of 12 A. Salt Cellars Hallmarked Alexander Sturm. Presented is a great set of 12 salt cellars with a pedestal base and two handles and a light gold wash interior. They are marked for Austrian solid 800 fine silver; American standard sterling silver is 925, so there is slightly less silver in this alloy, with a makers mark for Renowned firm of Alexander Sturm. I have placed a picture of my research in the photos above. They have an elegant, light and nimble design with no dents, dings or monogram and only a slight bent to the handle and almost all have a bent to rim or out of round rim, some ware to gold wash and some fine scratches from gentle use and care. It is difficult to find a set this large and it is a great find for the silver collectors. These are great pieces with any number of uses for fine dining from salts to small portion starter or taster to appetizers. I have an interesting assortment of items listed so please look at my other auctions. 3 ¾ inches across handles, 2 ¼ inches high, 1 5/8 inches across bottom. 19.9 ounces on my postal scale or 565 grams. Hallmarks for Austrian silver made after 1926, clover leaf, 800 for Alexander Sturm. No dents or ding. Almost all have a bent to rim or out of round rim. No monogram, some loss and wear to gold wash, some fine scratches from gentle use and care. This is my hobby and I do it for fun and a little spare cash.
