Whimsical rare pair of antique sterling silver figural shaped bowling pin open salt bowls or cellars, with light green and white porcelain liners with gilt trim, made in the United States by Gorham c. 1880. Approximate Size: 2 1/4" H x 2 1/2" W. Monogram: None. Hallmark: Maker's marks, Sterling, M.

Overall very good antique condition with normal minor wear consistent with age and usage. One of the sterling rings is a little bent and one of the liners has a small chip inside and an imperfection on the outside that is hidden by the bowling pin when in the piece (pictured). Some minor normal dimples and a teeny chip at the rim visible up close.
