This pen and ink drawing by Francesco Salviati, also known as "Cecchino," depicts a design for a salt cellar and a tazza, which is a shallow, wide bowl. The design features intricate details and decorative elements, typical of Mannerist style, popularized in the 16th century. These decorative designs would have likely been intended for wealthy patrons and reflect the artistic trends of the time. The inclusion of cherubs and other mythological figures in the design is another characteristic of Mannerist art, adding a sense of grandeur and elegance.
