silver and Baccarat glass salt cellar - Italy
this salt cellar has a silver stepped foot, chased with floral motifs supporting an octagonal cut glass bowl.
It was made in Milan in the first half of 19th century.
The glass bears the mark "Baccarat" and the silver foot has engraved initials LDV.
The salt cellar is 3 in. high (cm. 7,5) and was bought from an Italian dealer at an Antique Fair.
