Salt Cellar c. 1940

John Tarantino's "Salt Cellar" is a detailed blueprint-style design of a salt cellar in cobalt blue ink on paper. The salt cellar is depicted with a lyre motif and scrolling ornamentation in a classic revival style, possibly inspired by the 18th-century Neoclassical movement. The design, dated c. 1940, showcases Tarantino's talent for architectural detail and the revival of historical artistic styles.
