About the Item

Six Austrian Carved Rock Crystal .800 Silver Swan Salt Cellars with Spoons, Circa 1900 Dimensions: Each swan measures approximately 3" W x 1.25" D x 2.75" H; the six accompanying spoons are each 2.5" long. Materials: Carved rock crystal, silver (.800) A rare and elegant matched set of six Austrian figural salts or condiment vessels in the form of swans, dating to the turn of the 20th century. Each piece features a delicately carved rock crystal body—expertly rendered with fine feathered detail and organic curvature—paired with a stylized .800 silver swan-form neck and head. The elongated necks curve naturally over the vessels, creating a graceful and lifelike silhouette. Each salt includes its original silver spoon, stamped .800 to denote Continental silver purity. While the silver swan necks are unmarked, their craftsmanship and patina are consistent with Austrian or South German work from the Belle Époque period (circa 1900). Carved rock crystal objects of this type were time-consuming to fabricate and typically produced in small quantities for elite households or as special table gifts. Their luminous quality and intricate carving evoke the standards of imperial or courtly tableware, reflecting the refined taste and decorative opulence of the late Austro-Hungarian Empire. Swan forms were symbolic of grace, fidelity, and beauty, and such vessels were often used for serving caviar, salts, or condiments during formal service. Highly collectible, especially as a complete six-piece set, this group is not only ready for use but also ideal for display in a cabinet of curiosities or alongside fine silver and hardstone objets d'art.
