Salt 1831 - 1833

This clear glass salt dish, or "Salt," is an example of 19th-century American pressed glass. The Providence Flint Glass Works, which produced it from 1831 to 1833, used a mold to create the intricate pattern. It features a square body resting on three ornate feet. The design, characterized by an intricate floral motif, is typical of the pressed glass style popular during that period. The piece is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
