ABOUT PRODUCTID 20786
This double salt cellar from the 1920s, produced by German maker Krupp & Berndorf, exemplifies tableware craftsmanship in the Art Deco style. The main body, crafted from white metal and silver-plated, features openwork geometric ornamentation—repeating oval and circular motifs create a delicate lattice around two cylindrical holders. The removable inserts, made from deep, saturated cobalt blue glass with a glossy finish, provide a striking contrast against the cool silver metal. The piece rests on three rounded feet, while the central handle—vertical, turned, and adorned with a beaded ring and decorative finial—adds a note of classic refinement. Proportions are well balanced, with the openwork sides and vivid blue glass being the most captivating features. The item is preserved in very good condition: no visible damage or signs of wear, and the silver plating retains its authentic luster.In its form, the salt cellar echoes the spirit of the interwar era, with a clear rhythm of geometric apertures and the interplay of colors evoking the elegance of the 1920s. As if recounting stories from tables where celebrations took place, it reflects the glow of lamplight in cobalt glass and silver highlights. The openness of the decoration mirrors a time when detail mattered and everyday tableware combined utility with refined design.This double salt cellar would suit an Art Deco-inspired setting—placed on a veneered wood table, accompanied by porcelain dinnerware and simple glassware. It can be matched with other metal or glass accessories to emphasize the color contrast and decorative nature. In a contemporary dining room or vintage kitchen, it will highlight the uniqueness of the table setting, while in an eclectic interior, it can create a dialogue between classical and modern elements.
