A salt dish set on a base worked with applied silver half-circles - the half-disc motif, a variation on the silver circle that recurs across the workshop's holloware, ringing the base as its only ornament. The form is small and functional, the applied half-circles its single point of elaboration.
It belongs to the first design period, its hand-finished character reflecting the Las Delicias workshop.
With no scholarly reference recorded, this is a sparsely documented table form.
