Jugendstil Movement 800 Silver and Glass Master Salt Antique Salt Cellar

This beautiful little open salt cellar is made of 800 silver and glass. The oriental influence in the silverwork and the lines of the forget me not flowers speaks so much to the German Jugendstil movement of the end of the 19th century.
This precious little item is marked Gisch 800. I went over the bottom section of the salt cellar with a bit of silver cleaner, I did not do the handle because I liked the patina.
I leave all future patina decisions to the future owner.

Ornate Antique Master Salt 800 Silver Cut Glass Art Nouveau Lady Head Handle Open Salt

 

What a wonderful little work of art this is! I’m not sure of the maker but it is marked with a teeny tiny 800. The silver holder is decorated with little tiny lady heads on the handles. The little glass bowl that sits in the holder is both cut and acid frosted. This stunning little piece measures approximately 3-1/2 inches length ways and 1-1/4 inches tall. The condition is terrific for an item that is probably 130+ years old.
From a collection in a local estate.
