Hello everyone,
I would like to ask you about help in identifying the following item with Austrian silver marks. Dimensions: height: 75 mm. bottom diameter: 80 mm, top diameter: 55 mm.
Regards

Hi,
It is open salt cellar made in Prague (letter B). Gypsum plaster was added later for stability; something not to do.
Regards

Thank you for your help! Is it possible to identify the goldsmith name?

There is always a problem identigying Prague silvermiths.

Hi, Where to find reference books with Prague silversmith's marks and names prior to around 1866?

Hello!
If you would like to identify the silversmith in Prague in the middle of the 19. century I offer you the following one:
Josef Hráský: Výrobní značky zlatnických, stříbrnických a ozdobnických mistrů v Cechách v letech 1806-1860
Maybe your maker is Anton Braun, the book mentioning from 1834.
Best regards!
Krisztián

Thank you very much. Not available in English or German language?

I don't know about it. I think it was only published in Czech.

It looks very match as a salt cellar. But, silver and salt is a bad combination. The (crystal) glass lining/insert is likely missing. In a silver salt cellar without a glass inner the inner is usually gilded. Maybe there are traces of it?
