Art Nouveau salt cellar

The salt cellars was made in the manufacturer of the well-known creator of applied arts, Louis Comfort Tiffany, who, in 1894, patented a special type of iridescent glass – favrile. Such delicate and luxurious glass, with a beautiful metallic glow, brought his company worldwide fame at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1900, they were awarded a prize at the World Exhibition in Paris, and they gained immense popularity. In the same year, vases with favrile glass found themselves in the collections of forty-three of the largest museums in the world.
