Silver Thing With Cobalt Glass Inserts

Does anyone know what this is for? Also need help with the mark.

 

Nice! What is the size? That will help in figuring out the use.

 

Salt for sure, pepper or mustard for the other

 

6 1/4" tall to the ring. Inserts stand 1 5/8" tall and measure 2 3/4" x 1 3/4"

 

People are listing them as double salts. Not sure that is correct.

 

Thanks Fig and Clutter. Double salt gives me more returns on Ebay. Any idea on the mark?

I’ve not seen doubles before.......those look really nice!!!!! But are they sterling?? To have the blue glass inserts is awesome!!

 

Not sterling. But the design is cool!

 

Could be WMF. The I/O and as marks do appear on their plated wares from time to time. And yes, salts would be most likely.

See details on this page. http://www.silvercollection.it/WMF.html

 

Thanks Bakersgma!

 

Love the motif and love the shape of the cobalt inserts...kinda different from the usual round inserts.

 

Looks WMF to me. And it's Egyptian Revival, 1920s. Use obelisk, Cleopatra's Needle and sphinx as terms.
