DescriptionAn off-white salt shaker with pale yellow tinting. It has a square-shaped base that tapers as it goes up to its circular top. The top and its lip are painted with gold enamel, and nine small holes form a square on it. Dark red, light blue, and dark green geometric shapes taken together create a design on its front and back sides. One small, green rectangle is painted on the sides of the shaker, in between the designs.
