Cellini Salt Cellar

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

Originally this topic was my and my partner's third choice, but when it was finalized to do it, I noticed that it needed a lot of work. The pre-existing Wikipedia page had a general description of what the Cellini Salt Cellar was. I was also attracted by its beauty and interesting theft story.

We noticed that the style was a little all over the place in terms of organizing details, and what was missing was the technical element of the art, its overall style, and where it culturally came from. Another detail that we thought was missing was the "historical context" behind the Cellar as Cellini was a pretty big artist that had other works even more famous than the Cellar. The previous page talked about the cellar being stolen but only brief details in its's "Theft and Recovery" sections. It did however paraphrase well and include its sources, so it is a good base to expand on.
