Pair of Salt Dishes 1850 - 1860

This pair of salt dishes, crafted by Peter L. Krider between 1850 and 1860, is a fine example of American silver craftsmanship from the mid-19th century. The dishes, made of polished silver, feature a simple yet elegant design with rounded bowls, delicate handles, and a circular base. They are currently housed in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
