This form descends directly from the Adam-style silverwork of the late 18th century and was produced continuously in electroplate through the Victorian and Edwardian periods. The cobalt blue liner is not decorative — it is the practical solution to a real problem: salt corrodes silver, so the glass protected the metal while the pierced body let the blue show through. The result is one of those pieces that is more visually striking than its modest origins might suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Type | Open salt cellar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Material | Electroplated silverplate with cobalt blue glass liner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Origin | England\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Age | Circa 1880 to 1910, Victorian to Edwardian period\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Style | Neoclassical Revival\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Size | 3.25 in H x 6.25 in W x 2.5 in D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Marks | B13 (pattern or batch number); no maker's cartouche or EPNS stamp present\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Liner | Cobalt blue glass, oval, removable, intact\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eGood antique condition overall.
