Saltcellar (one of a pair)
Maker: Pierre Reymond Pierre Reymond
Pierre Reymond, Colin Nouailher (active by 1539), and Léonard Limosin (ca. 1505–1575/77) were among the earliest enamelers in Limoges to decorate hollow wares. Both Reymond and Nouailher painted scenes of frolicking infants; in this case, the scenes were partly based on an engraving of 1529 by the Italian master IB. Another pair of salts, similar in form and style and signed with Reymond’s initials, is now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Limoges.
