A porcelain salt‑cellar with blue-and-white decoration: two roosters, standing on three chimera‑head feet. The central section features openwork compartments.
Although the pierced work recalls the technique known as ‘linglong’ (the so‑called Devil’s Work), here the openwork is purely decorative rather than intended to hold a separate liner.
