This is a handy little item that I keep beside the bed holding some rock salt. If I have a cramp at night I find salt under the tongue gives me relief almost immediately. Beside that, I love the aventurine raspberry prunts on the nicely tooled triangular bowl. It's a miniature piece only 3cm (1.1")high and 7cm (2.75") at its widest point.
It retains an original label.
I'd always suspected it was by Archemide Seguso.
Any ideas?
