Here&#039;s an example: <a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/44792994_russian-salt-cellar-on-feet-faberge-workshop" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/44792994_russian-salt-cellar-on-feet-faberge-workshop" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/44792994_russian-salt-cellar-on-feet-faberge-workshop</a>. This example is a little smaller than mine, but otherwise identical. I notice it&#039;s either corroded or tarnished on the inside bottom. Do you think it had a glass liner at one time? Do you think mine did? What else do you think mine might have been used for? Or be? I&#039;m going to attempt to imbed an image of the inside bottom of mine. I don&#039;t see much, if any, corrosion. The goldish tint on the inside side is just lighting effect. There&#039;s no gold tone at all. Again, my piece is 1.5 inches tall, 2 inches wide at the top, and 2.5 inches wide at the bottom. One more question. How do you tell if something is &quot;Faberge workshop?&quot; (As in the example link.)</p><p>PS, I wasn&#039;t able to imbed the inside-bottom image in this reply (after much effort), but it&#039;s in chucktell media if you choose to look.</p><p>Chuck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
