Pressed glass was an inexpensive alternative to luxury cut glass.  Frequently, pressed designs copied expensive cut models.  This salt cellar is hexagonal and features six panels with arches in the base.  It is the type of salt that would have been found on working class tables during the Civil War.  It stands 2 3/4" tall and does not have a pontil.  Probably made in one of the Pittsburgh glass factories, it dates from 1850-1870.  [lj][ph:L]
