15th Century Salt Cellar, France,
Agate, gold, opaque enamels on gold ronde-bosse, pearls, H 0.10 m,
This small saltcellar entered the collections of Louis XIV, a great lover of precious and semiprecious stoneware, between 1681 and 1684. It is one of the rare 15th-century works in the collections of Louis XIV that has retained its original mount. The mount is highly refined and decorated in a supremely Gothic style.
