$450.00
c. 1920-1940 Chinese Export salt shaker Retailed by Wing Nam. Probably made in Hong Kong or Canton. In good condition with some slight signs of age and use (internal salt related corrosion as expected), but really in excellent shape. Made of a good gauge of silver, the salt shows a figural lizard chasing a spider. Marked clearly on the bottom 'WN' and with a Chinese artisan mark. Gorgeous! The lizard (蜥蜴, symbolizing vitality, alertness, and active striving) chasing the spider (蜘蛛, 喜蛛, symbolizing happiness and good fortune) could be interpreted as the purposeful pursuit and capture of joy, prosperity, and auspicious opportunity.
