Elegant figural swan-form master salt cellar featuring a cut-crystal bowl set into a decorative silver-plated metal mount. The swan’s arched neck forms the handle, while openwork wings extend along both sides of the bowl, decorated with a stylized floral medallion motif.
The bowl is cut crystal with a starburst base and repeating diamond-cut pattern along the sides. The mount is stamped “SILVER PLATE”, indicating electroplated silver over a base metal core — typical of decorative table accessories produced in the mid-20th century.
The sculptural bird form and sparkling crystal insert make this a charming decorative tabletop object — suitable as a salt cellar, candy dish, nut bowl, bonbon server, vanity dish, or ring holder.
