This design was used by many silversmiths, including Paul de Lamerie; a set of four virtually identical salts by him, from the collection of the Right Honourable The Earl Spencer, were exhibited in Paul de Lamerie: The Work of England's Master Silversmith (1688-1751) at Goldsmiths' Hall in 1990 and one of the set is illustrated on page 107 of the exhibition catalogue.
