Salt Cellar c. 18th century

This small, 18th-century, anonymous ceramic salt cellar displays a unique blue and white design on its surface. The small ceramic vessel, crafted in the shape of a small cup, displays a dense, abstract pattern of blue speckles against a white background. This "Salt Cellar" is currently held at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The delicate size and detailed design emphasize the craftsmanship involved in making this piece.
