4 Large 1800s German Silver Salts Fantasy Figures Satyrs Butterflies
Regular price
$1,530.00
Presented is a beautiful set of 4 German silver salts. Each piece displays fabulous pierce-work scrolls all the way around. Around each piece are cast and applied griffins and butterflies as well as the 3 legs of the seated satyr figures. All of this work has great detail and looks better in person than in the photos. The salts have a great beaded edge on the top and a light goldwash. The underside of each one has a monogram P in a flowing script. The monogram is only visible if you turn the salts upside down.
The underside of each piece is marked 13 loth for .812 purity silver. Each piece also has a maker's mark of a clover and an anchor, which we were unable to identify.
This set is in great overall condition. Each salt is meant to have 6 butterflies. One of the salts is missing two butterflies. Another salt is missing one butterfly. Two of the salts have a very minor split in the pierce-work which is only visible from the bottom.
Measurements: 2 3/4 inches in diameter and 1 1/2 inches tall
Total Weight: 440 grams or 15.5 ounces -kc
