Copper, enamelled en grisaille on a black ground, and gilded; the top also enamelled in turquoise-green, and the base in turquoise, and pale mauve. The salt pan is decorated with a bust of a man in profile to right wearing a hat with a feather in it, and is inscribed "IE SVIS PARIS" (I am Paris) in gold surrounded by two gold circles. On the flat surround there are three pairs of cornucopia with foliated terminals, containing turquoise fruits. Round the outer edge is a gold line broken at regular intervals by five oblique strokes. In the depression in the base is a head of a woman in profile to left, wearing a turquoise frontlet, a snood, and a turquoise oval cabochon over her ear. The black ground is dotted with gold, and inscribed "LABELLE ELLENE" (Beautiful Helen) in gold within a gold circle. On the flat area there are three white roses and three pale mauve roses linked by stems bearing either two pairs of turquoise or two pairs of green leaves, and pairs of gold tendrils. Round the outer edge is a gold line broken at regular intervals by five oblique strokes. The sides are decorated with six figures flanked by rocks and small gold plants, each with a gold inscription above. From right to left: Fortune stepping to the right, holding the staff of a billowing pennant in her right hand, and its tail in her left; inscribed "TOVT. FORTVNE/LE VA" with an orb between the LE and VA. A jester steps to the left raising his right hand, and holding a jester's staff over his shoulder in his left; inscribed "IL SEMBLE AVVILART.ABVZ.QVE.LES. IEVLX/DAY MER SOYENT PERDVZ" (It seems to the old mistakenly that the games of love may be over, i.e. lost for ever or It seems to the old that enjoyment of the games of love may be lost through over indulgence). An old woman in sixteenth century costume holding a walking stick in her left hand and placing her right held to her bosom; inscribed, "QVA(N)T.DVIEV.DAYMER. ME/SOVVIE(N)T.LA.LARME.AVXI.EVLVLX.ME VIEN.A 70 ANS" (When I remember the game of love a tear comes to my eyes at 70 years).

A middle aged woman, perhaps a nun, wearing sixteenth century costume, walking to the left, holding a gold rosary in her right hand and holding up her skirt in her left hand; inscribed "QVANT.ON.LE ME.PRE SANTE. IELE. PRENS.EN/ PACIANCE A. 40.ANS" . (When someone offers I take it patiently at 40 years). An middle aged man in sixteenth century costume with a turquoise jewel on each sleeve opening, walking to the left leaning on a walking stick held in his right hand, and holding his left with its thumb tucked into his belt; inscribed "ET.MOY.TEL.QVE.IE.SVYs IL LE .FAIZ QVANT.IE.PV.A.50 ANS" (And me, such as I am, I do it when I can at 50 years). On each of the angles there is a foliated spindle (?), and on the top of the projecting base a border of overlapping wavy lines forming a cable. 1725 reference exhibition-1754 adlib-exhibition-1754 d50e860c-2dca-313a-9970-1b01cecbbb85 Catalogue of the Special Exhibition of Works of Art of the Medieval, Renaissance, and more Recent Periods, on loan at the South Kensington Museum, June 1862 reference exhibition-1077 adlib-exhibition-1077 a9790b74-5102-3534-9d71-e4f0dc4f89f3 Tempus, The Art of Time 188 reference exhibition-2376 adlib-exhibition-2376 3e2208a0-ad25-3b64-b03f-cb63aa00fd02 Treasured Possessions from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment M.50-1904 1 accession number M.50-1904 139843 priref 139843 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/139843 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/139843 on salt pan painted in IE SVIS PARIS inscription on base painted in LABELLE ELLENE inscription an orb between the LE and VA on side decorated with Fortune painted in TOVT•PAR•FORTVNE/LE VA inscription on side decorated with jester painted in IL SEMBLE AVVILANT/ PAR•ABVZ•QVE•LES• IEVLX/DAY MER SOYENT PERDVZ inscription on side with old woman with walking stick painted in ‘QVA(N)T•DVIEV•DAYMER• ME/SOVVIE(N)T•LA•LARME•AVXI/•EVLVLX•ME VIEN/•A 70 ANS inscription on side with old man with walking stick painted in HELAS•IESVS•VR(A)I/DIEV:DE GRACE•LE• IEV•D/AYMER•FAICT•ON•ENCORES/A•80•ANS inscription on side with middle aged woman holding rosary painted in QVANT•ON•LE ME•PRE/ SANTE•IELE•PRENS•EN/PACIANCE A•40•ANS inscription on side with middle aged man painted in ET•MOY•TEL•QVE• IE•SVYs/IL LE•FAIZ QVANT•IE•PV/•A•50 ANS’ inscription part of a circular paper label with a black border on rim below the depression containing Helen hand-written in pencil 390’ label a very small rectangular paper label stuck on top of the circular label printed in black 512 label reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Frank McClean Bequest reference agent-172414 adlib-agent-172414 73d94f64-8c0d-30c1-9764-25b005f3ce1d McClean, Frank 1904 1904 1904 bequeathed 1540 1540 CE 1540 circa 1540 1545 The dating is suggested by a salt dated 1542 in the Wallace Collection 1 1545 CE 1545 1545 probably maker reference agent-99908 adlib-agent-99908 376e1128-04f6-3812-88a6-e4928cb7732d Nouailher, Colin The amorous message of this salt is related to the theme of the Ages of Man, which during the Middle Ages and Renaissance might be identified as three, four, seven, or twelve stages. The Ages of Man in decades was a late medieval development and was more common in the Low Countries and Germany. Normally the ages of life after forty would be shown as a gradual decline towards death, but the decoration here presents a more optimistic view because the middle aged and old people express views which indicate that their interest in love-making continues. The goddess Fortuna’s ability to make or marr lovers’ happiness by her fickle behaviour is mentioned frequently in French literature from the late 12th century onwards, and a jester or fool was often used in 15th and 16th century art as an indication of lust or folly. The jester's statement on the salt is ambiguous, according to the interpretation of the word 'abus'. It could be read as meaning that the old are mistaken in thinking that their ability to enjoy love-making is lost, or that the ability to love is lost through excessive indulgence in love-making, a view expressed in a well known late 12th century treatise 'De Amore' by Andreas Cappellanus. Possibly the head of Helen, the beautiful wife of Menelaus, King of Sparta, and that of Paris, who precipitated the Trojan War by abducting her, represent the prime of life, but their presence could also be a reminder that unbridled passion may lead to disaster. There is an analogous polychrome salt in the Wallace Collection, which has similar figures and inscriptions with variant spellings but without the ages on the sides, and, on the top and bottom depressions respectively, profile busts of Pallas surrounded by cornupias, and Jupiter surrounded by stylized roses (III M 260). (1) It is inscribed, with the letter ‘N’ in gold suspended from a swag on the side of the old woman. A companion salt in the Wallace (III M.261), dated 1542, is decorated in a similar manner, but with different heads and figures. The top and base are decorated respectively with Paris and Athena with cornucopia borders. One side is decorated with Cupid blindfold, one with Venus in her chariot, and the other four with a young lady or a gentleman accompanied by an inscription. (See Documentation, Higgott, 2011) These salts suggest that the Fitzwilliam's may originally have had a pair which represented the earlier Ages of Man or Love. The figures of the middle-aged man and woman are reminiscent of two lovers on a small plaque attributed to Colin Nouailher in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, (See Documentation Biron, 2011). The Fitzwilliam’s salt was attributed tentatively to Colin Nouailher by Dalton, 1912, a reasonable suggestion in view of the inscriptions, a feature of Colin Nouailher’s work, and the expressions of the figures, which are similar in character to those on his few initialled works. This attribution is supported by the letter 'N' on one of the salts in the Wallace Collection. The rose border on one end of this salt was also used in Pierre Reymond's workshop and there are several hexagonal salts of this form initialled PR, but they are enamelled in a very different style. See Fitzwilliam M.4-1966, where these are mentioned. The salts were constructed in an interesting way. X-radiography of a hexagonal salt in the British Museum revealed that it was made in three parts. The sides were made of one piece of copper which was bent into shape and had a flap folded over on one angle. The top and bottom were joined to the side by wires (see Documentation, La Niece, 2009). reference term-120009 adlib-term-120009 690a6332-cfc1-3411-a716-4dd4ec7d9a65 16th Century, second quarter
