Catalogue Note: This is only the second example of this salt that we have sold, suggesting it is likely extremely rare. In addition, it was not represented in the Elsholz collection.

Excellent condition, shallow chip and flake to outer edge of rim, small chip/mold roughness to edge of one foot, otherwise only some expected mold roughness to rim and vertical corners.
