This condiÂment bowl, forÂmerÂly called saltÂshakÂer, includes two conÂtainÂers, for the preÂsenÂtaÂtion of salt and pepper.
This bowl is disÂtinÂguished by the use of dolÂphins, with long bodÂies and covÂered with scales, with a large head and a promiÂnent mouth. Used in pairs, dolÂphins are genÂerÂalÂly assoÂciÂatÂed with the presÂence of water.
The CondiÂment bowl with DolÂphins requires more than 60 hours of work and symÂbolÂizes the remarkÂable know-how of our goldsmiths.
