A beautifully crafted antique coin silver open salt cellar, featuring elegant hand-engraved floral decoration and a classic pedestal form with side handles.
This early American piece is marked “COIN”, indicating coin silver (typically ~.900 fine), and dates to the mid-19th century. The body is adorned with finely detailed floral panels framed by delicate beading, while the front cartouche bears a graceful script monogram “C”, adding a personal and historical touch.
Its larger size and handled form suggest it was likely used as a master salt, a refined serving piece for the table.
With a substantial weight of 2.34 troy ounces, this piece also carries strong intrinsic silver value, making it both collectible and tangible.
