Heavy lead glass salt cellar, referred to as a bonnet glass in the UK.  Ten molded diamonds over flutes, 3" tall, with an open pontil.  American or Anglo/Irish  1760-1790.  There is some debate as to the use of these glasses.  In the US they were certainly used as salt cellars into the early 19th century.   However, in England, they are referred to as dessert glasses.  Why they were not used for salt in the UK is a mystery.   [LJ] [ph:L]
