Topic: Another salt,smaller and opalescent.

[keith]

At a fraction over one inch,moulded base,no marks on the rim,shame it doesn't say Lalique either ,any ideas welcome,

sorry, no sensible comments to offer keith, other than................is it a tad too small into which to put fingers to get a pinch of salt, perhaps  -  I take it the inch is referring to the width, and assume the rim is EPNS.        Are salts made with electoplating in contact with the salt  -  I don't recall - but might the salt corrode the metal??

I assumed the one inch meant the height     if it's the diameter then perhaps it is a dolls house piece maybe?
Sorry I've no idea.  I don't suppose it could be some form from Jobling opalique could it?  I've absolutely no idea whether they would have made it though. It's pretty

Thanks both,one inch high with 1.25 inches across,just enough to get a couple of thin fingers in,if it is a salt,hadn't thought of Jobling,

that sounds minute for a salt tbh Keith - I wonder if it might have been something else?

How is the base finished? How many ribs does it have? It reminds me a bit of of this one http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=1003
http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=1007. It's much the same size and has 10 optic ribs. You probably had a tiny spoon.

or mustard???

[keith]

Moulded base and 14 ribs,bit small for mustard maybe,

some similarity with this pair?  although they are twice as wide as yours - I'm still wondering what yours might have been if not a salt

Very similar,if not a salt maybe a rouge pot?
