EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Armorial salt, a true masterpiece of Italian craftsmanship from the 17th century. The earthenware salt is displayed at the prestigious Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK. Its exquisite design features intricate moldings and vibrant enamel paintings in shades of blue, green, purple-black, orange, and yellow. The dimensions of this remarkable piece are approximately 10.5 x 10 x 10 cm. It was created in Europe, specifically Emilia-Romagna region in Italy, with its probable origin being Ravenna or Faenza. The coat of arms depicted on the salt adds a touch of heraldry to its already impressive artistic value. This ceramic jar represents the skillful workmanship and attention to detail that characterized Italian artisans during this period. It serves as a testament to their dedication to creating beautiful objects that were not only functional but also works of art. The Armorial salt is a tangible link to European history and culture from centuries past. Its presence evokes images of grand banquets where it would have adorned noble tables as part of elegant tableware sets. As we admire this stunning artifact captured by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder, we can appreciate both the beauty and historical significance it holds within its delicate form. This photograph allows us to explore the world of ceramics and craft industries while marveling at the ingenuity behind such masterpieces.
