Saleiro — História e Análise

O sal era uma mercadoria cara no século XVII e, portanto, ocupava um lugar de destaque na mesa. As saleiras eram, assim, obras de arte elaboradas. Aqui, sob o pequeno prato para o sal, encontra-se a figura de uma mulher nua com uma âncora, simbolizando a Esperança.

A tampa triangular é coroada por uma figura feminina com uma cruz, a personificação da Fé.
