Unknown mark on a salt cellar

Hello, I am new here. I miss id for the following salt cellar, about 8cm high. I can read "ET" on each piece, written upside down, but under the base, there is what I believe to be a hallmark, a head, maybe? Thank you for helping! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7BqYQz1u1W4/Vwt8zcZK-gI/...
