FAQs

Salt cellars, or open salts, were traditional table service vessels designed to hold loose salt prior to the widespread adoption of free-flowing table salt shakers in the early twentieth century.

Most fine antique salt cellars were crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, frequently fitted with glass liners or gilded interiors to protect the metal from salt chemical corrosion.

Authenticity can be confirmed by inspecting official maker marks and assay hallmarks stamped into the metal, along with period construction features like cast cabriole legs or hand-chased ornamentation.

These vessels can be arranged on a formal dining table to serve specialty finishing salts, or repurposed on a dressing table to store small items of jewellery.

Clean silver cellars using a specialized silver polishing cloth or warm water with mild soap, ensuring all moisture is dried thoroughly to prevent tarnishing and oxidisation.
