This set consists of two individual antique salt shakers made of faceted cut glass, fitted with sterling silver lids bearing official Spanish hallmarks. The pieces present a classic hexagonal tapered form, serving as functional table accessories.
Introduced by the Spanish decree of 1934 and finalized in 1935, the five-pointed star hallmark (estrella de cinco puntas) stamped on the lids officially guarantees a silver purity of 915/1000 (Plata de Primera Ley). These shakers are representative of mid-20th-century Spanish silversmithing.
