Description
The salt cellar stands on a trefoil base with a single gilded bead profile and three water-spouting dolphins whose bodies are twisted upwards to form a stem. The tail fins fanned out at the sides support a two-tiered scallop shell. The painted Brühl-Kolowrat-Krakowsky alliance coat of arms is located on the smooth surface and three ‘Indian’ flowers and small scattered flowers appear on the ribbed part below the border. Blue crossed swords on an unglazed base.
