Galvanoplastische reproductie van een driehoekig zoutvat op bolpoten before 1878

This triangular salt cellar, crafted by Elkington & Co. before 1878, is a prime example of electroforming, a technique that involves depositing a thin layer of metal onto a mold. The intricate details of the design, including the three circular indentations and delicate floral patterns, are accentuated by the lustrous gold finish. The piece stands on three rounded legs, adding a touch of elegance to its practical design. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this small yet exquisite salt cellar reflects the artistry and technological advancements of the Victorian era.
