Add a touch of the late 19th -century elegance to your table or display cabinet with this beautiful set of antique Dresden Saxony open salt cellars. Each piece is individually hand-painted with a unique floral bouquet and finished with ornate raised gold scrollwork in the classic Dresden Rococo revival style. The scalloped quatrefoil shape and delicate detailing make these salts a charming example of fine German porcelain craftsmanship. These small open salts were originally used at each place setting to hold a pinch of salt before shakers became common. Today, they're perfect for display, jewelry, rings, or as part of a Victorian tableware collection. Made in Saxony Germany circa 1890-1920.

Three salt cellars are in good antique condition with no cracks or repairs.
One cellar has an old repair and still shows a visible chip on the rim.
