Salt Cellar 1730 - 1735

This delicate porcelain salt cellar, crafted by the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory between 1730 and 1735, is a prime example of the Rococo style, characterized by its playful and asymmetrical forms. The salt cellar is shaped like a shell, with a delicate, swirling design, and features a charming bird perched atop a leafy branch. The white porcelain is left unglazed, showcasing the beauty of the material and its subtle variations in texture. This small but intricate piece speaks to the exquisite artistry of the Meissen factory, which revolutionized European porcelain production.
