French Sterling Silver Salt Cellars. This is a fantastic pair of French 950 sterling silver salt cellars. They are very beautiful and ornate, with four superb rams’ heads placed above 4 hoof feet. There is a divider on each salt, with a finial shaped like a pine cone. These salts measure 3-1/4″(L) x 2-1/2″(W) x 3(H) inches. Together the pair weigh a substantial 410 grams (14.46 regular ounces). Each salt cellar is hallmarked (twice) with the Minerva and number 1, indicating French standard 950 silver. There is another mark (countermark) of an insect on each piece. This mark is known as a “Bigorne”. These salt cellars are in very good condition with no dents, breaks or repairs — just some tarnish and surface wear. There are no monograms. Please see my listings for details.
