介绍（中）	这种钟形盐是根据物体的整体钟形轮廓以及两个叠加部分中的每一个而得名的。在欧洲，盐不是一种容易获得的材料。在英国，它是通过海水蒸发获得的。盐田位于海边的城镇，在那里它们可以被淹没，并在海水蒸发时小心照料。在欧洲部分地区，岩盐是从山坡上提取的，它的存在证明该地区曾经在海底。这种钟盐由两个容器和一个胡椒瓶组成。从其他可追溯到十七世纪初的杯子和盐等小型家用物品中可以识别出身份不明的制造商的标记。装饰保留在环形打孔地面上，由几种类型的叶子组成，镶嵌在圆形或菱形中，或者其他地方刚好镶嵌在环形打孔地面上。效果很像亚麻锦缎，其光泽和暗淡区域形成对比。
介绍（英）	This bell salt was so named from the overall bell-like profile of the object as well as of each of the two superimposed sections. Salt was not an easy material to acquire in Europe. In England, it was obtained by the evaporation of seawater. Salt pans were located in towns beside the sea, where they could be flooded and carefully tended while the seawater evaporated. In parts of Europe, rock salt was extracted from mountainsides, where its presence was evidence that the area was once under sea. This bell salt is comprised of two containers and a pepper shaker. The unidentified maker's mark is known from other small household objects such as cups and salts dating to the early seventeenth century. The decoration is in reserve on a ring-punched ground, and consists of leaves of several types set in roundels or lozenges or elsewhere just set into the ring-punched ground. The effect is much like linen damask, with its contrast of shiny and dulled areas.
