Lot Essay

This salt cellar, or saliera, was inspired by the regional style of the Pacific Northwest coast. Carved from hematite with a matching 18k gold spoon, it pays homage to both the Pacific Northwest aesthetic and the European tradition of the preciousness of salt.

Robert Chaplin dedicates this work of art to the memory of his grandfather.
