Russian-made salt shaker inspired by tsarist aesthetics. Unusual accessory that will add a vintage spirit to many a kitchen or collection. Traditional open form used in a similar shape for centuries, while popularized with the industrial revolution. The glass stem is surrounded by a floral decoration modeled on 19th century empire ornament. A product of Soviet production, it depicts how strongly rooted and influential xixth-century "bourgeois" aesthetic patterns remained, despite repeated attempts to combat them.
The state of preservation can be seen in the photos.
