Regarding the picture by Franck of a salt cellar exhibited at the Musée Rétrospectif, Union centrale des Beaux-Arts appliqués à l'industrie in Paris in 1865 and now at the Victoria & Albert Museum (inv. no. 57481), our lot could correspond to the one in the collection of Joseph Fau (see Musée rétrospectif, 1867, p. 228, no. 2591). During the same exhibition, Alphonse de Rothschild lent a similar one but with a radial decoration to the top (ibid., inv. no. 2591) while our salt cellar represents a male bust.
