Each piece features a delicate pink floral design with gold trim around the irregularly shaped scalloped edges. The interior of each salt dish is adorned with small painted roses, while the exterior is decorated with a continuous floral pattern.

These salts were traditionally used at the dining table to hold small portions of salt for individual use, a practice common in refined European and American dining traditions of the 19th century. The unmarked base suggests they may be of French or German origin, potentially Limoges or another fine porcelain manufacturer known for hand-painted decorative wares.

Condition is generally good with some signs of wear to the gold trim, consistent with age and use. This set would appeal to collectors of antique tableware, Victorian dining accessories, or lovers of hand-painted porcelain. See less
