About the Item

This captivating sterling silver Viking longship salt cellar is both a decorative showpiece and a functional table accessory. Designed in the form of a traditional Norse vessel, it features intricate detailing that pays homage to ancient maritime craftsmanship. Measuring modestly in size yet rich in character, the piece includes its original cobalt blue glass liner and a matching sterling spoon, making it a complete and beautifully preserved set. The body of the ship is elongated and curves upward at both ends, with highly detailed dragon heads adorning the bow and stern, evoking the fierce imagery of Viking warships. These heads are skillfully cast with expressive features and textured manes, bringing a sense of motion and mythology to the piece. Lining each side of the longship are five evenly spaced round medallions, each featuring a raised cross motif at the center. These medallions suggest Viking shields, symbolizing both protection and heritage. The surface of the silver is finished with subtle texturing to mimic the appearance of wooden planks, enhancing the authenticity of the design. Nestled within the silver frame is a removable cobalt glass liner, which not only adds a vivid pop of color but also serves the practical purpose of protecting the silver from salt corrosion. The matching sterling silver spoon echoes the same level of detail and completes the set. This salt cellar is a remarkable example of themed silverware, combining storytelling, symbolism, and fine metalwork into a collectible object that would stand out on any formal table setting or in a cabinet of curiosities.
