Object description :

"Tripod Salt Cellar With Openwork Blue And White Decor - China 18th Century Kangxi Period"

Porcelain salt cellar with blue and white decoration of two roosters, resting on three feet in the shape of a chimera's head. The central part is composed of openwork cells.
This openwork work could be considered as "Linglong" or work of the devil in openwork work, although here this part is not intended to accommodate a possible container, and has only a decorative aspect.
China 18th century
Kangxi period (1661-1722)

Height: 5.8cm
Length (of the upper part): 7.9cm

Some chips and fritting on the upper edge. Some tiny cracks on the openwork part, a small chip inside the salt cellar, visible below.
