A refined and elegant antique silver plate miniature pedestal salt cellar bearing the Avon Silver A1 electroplate mark on the base — a quality British-style silver plate designation indicating first-quality electroplating. Standing approximately 2 inches tall, this petite open salt dish is a wonderful example of Victorian-era silver plate craftsmanship.
The salt cellar features a gracefully lobed and paneled bowl with a beautifully detailed gadrooned (beaded) rim encircling the top opening, and sits on a matching scalloped and gadrooned pedestal base that mirrors the rim detailing perfectly. The interior of the bowl is smooth and polished, showing a warm silver tone with age-appropriate patina and tarnish. The exterior panels have a subtle vertical ribbing that catches the light elegantly. The base shows the characteristic rough texture of aged electroplate with the Avon Silver A1 stamp clearly visible.
