Red fish scale cloissonne holder with old glass insert. The enameled brass holder is of fine workmanship and shows some age. There are marks that say 60MMet and 44PJU. It was sold to me as an open salt and may well be, but it may also have had a previous life as an ink pot, possibly for an Asian scholar. More photos upon request. Condition is excellent.
