On offer is a charming antique English sterling silver salt cellar, believed to be hallmarked for Birmingham, 1922, and attributed to the renowned silversmith Joseph Gloster Ltd. This piece beautifully exemplifies early 20th-century British silver craftsmanship, blending form, function, and classical design with distinctive decorative flair.

Crafted in a traditional rounded cauldron form, the salt cellar stands proudly on three detailed lion mask and paw feet, a motif symbolizing strength and nobility. This decorative style was particularly popular in Edwardian and early Art Deco silverware and remains highly desirable among collectors today.

Although the hallmarks are rubbed from age and use, partial traces remain visible and strongly suggest Birmingham 1922 as the assay date, with the maker’s mark consistent with Joseph Gloster Ltd, a prominent silversmith active during that period known for producing elegant table silver and novelties.

This piece weighs approximately 62 grams and measures about 2.5 inches in diameter and 1.75 inches tall. It remains in good antique condition, showing the expected surface wear and patina consistent with age, but no splits, dents, or repairs—ready for display or use.
