Created circa 1930, these salt cellars are beautifully formed in the shape of Viking ships (also known as "drakkars"), complete with intricate detailing that evokes the grandeur of Nordic maritime history.

Each salt cellar is crafted in fine sterling silver, showcasing Theodore Olsens' exceptional skill as one of Norway's most celebrated silversmiths. The "ships" feature elegantly curved hulls, detailed prows, and delicate oar-inspired designs, all rendered with impeccable artistry. These miniature vessels are both functional and sculptural, making them as much conversation pieces as they are practical tableware. Each cellar includes its own spoon, following the styling and motifs of the larger design.

Perfect for collectors of Norwegian silver, Art Deco design, or Viking-inspired artistry, these sterling silver salt cellars offer a rare glimpse into the intersection of history, culture, and design. Their versatile and timeless appeal makes them ideal for display or for enhancing a fine dining experience with a touch of Scandinavian luxury. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
