Open salts and Alcide Chaumeil

I've been a collector of open salts since the early 80's and am a member of the New England Society of Open Salt Collectors. A highlight of our meetings is the Buy & Sell session. A colorful, rather rustic little Alcide Chaumeil cauldron-shaped salt featuring a golden dog and a cryptic French saying caught my eye and it quickly became mine. Some research un-covered an interesting back story. I'll post a photo and the story next time; I don't want to be a forum hog.

Too many pages on the Finds thread.
Either post here or start a salt thread in Pottery and Glass Forum

 

opensalts, for a wealth of information, members of the Quimper Club International (QCI) are collectors of the pottery you mention with the "golden dog"motif. A QCI member, through years of research, actually discovered the lost name of the maker and wrote a booklet on the maker. Inquiries: www.quimperclub.org

Oh, please. I only have a few open salts, but I love them. I really want to see yours.
