The casting is consistent across all four pieces: repoussé floral garlands, oval cabochons, urn motifs, and pierced scroll feet, all pointing to a single Hanau workshop active between roughly 1890 and 1920. All four pieces retain their original deep cobalt glass liners. The hinged lid of the master salt opens on its hinge, and the pinecone finial is intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Type | Salt cellar set\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Maker | Unidentified; attributed to a Hanau workshop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Material | 800 silver (master salt body, stamped); silver-toned frames of uncertain fineness (three open salts and spoon, unmarked); cobalt glass liners\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Hallmark | 800 stamp on master salt body only; open salts and spoon are unmarked\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Origin | Germany, likely Hanau\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Age | Circa 1890 to 1920\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Style | Louis XVI revival, German Historismus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Size | Master salt approximately 4 in H x 3 in W; open salts approximately 2 in H x 2.5 in W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Pattern | Repoussé floral garlands, oval cabochons, urn motifs, pierced scroll feet, pinecone finial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Set includes | Lidded master salt with original spoon; three matching open salts with cobalt glass liners (4 total pieces)\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\"\u003eThe set is in good antique condition overall, with one significant structural issue on the master salt that should be understood before purchase. One of the two side handles on the master salt is missing, and the leg on that same side is partially broken away, leaving the body to rest unevenly on that corner. The damage appears to be an old loss rather than a recent break. The lid of the master salt is intact and opens on its hinge; the pinecone finial is present and secure. The cobalt glass liner of the master salt is in place and undamaged. The repoussé decoration across the lid and body is well-defined and without losses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe three open salts are in good condition. The cobalt glass liners are present and intact in all three. The pierced silver frames show light tarnish consistent with age and minor surface wear, with no missing elements visible across the group. The scroll feet are intact on all three open salts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe shell-bowl spoon is present and matches the decorative vocabulary of the set. It is unmarked and shows light tarnish and minor wear at the bowl. The spoon does not carry the 800 silver mark found on the master salt body and should be considered silver-toned metal of uncertain fineness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe open salts and spoon are unmarked; only the master salt body carries the 800 stamp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51248084484374,"sku":"AMD-02940","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/LaBelleBrocante-767.jpg?v=1777173500","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/antique-german-800-silver-salt-cellar-set-cobalt-glass-hanau-1900","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
