Description
Pair of Gorham Coin Silver Salt Cellars
Model #3, introduced ca. 1856, cauldron form, decorated with repousse floral scroll cartouches, with wavy gadrooned rim and raised on three acanthus-crested pad feet, the interiors gilt, each monogrammed on one cartouche "G".
h. 1-1/2", dia. 2-1/8"; 2.82 total t. oz.
Literature: George and Carolyn Tompkins, The Handbook of Gorham Open Salt Dishes (Rockport, ME: Archimedes Press, 1987), p. 35, pl. 3.
Notes: The repousse decoration here appears to be a contemporaneous after-market addition: a good example of a 19th-century retailer's enhancement of a supplier's wares for his customer's taste.
