This pair of Victorian salt cellars belongs to the Victorian period, originating circa 1870. The pieces are formed from cranberry glass in a rich cranberry red colour, finished with horizontal white glass trailing and a ribbed body detail, and each salt cellar stands on shell-moulded feet. Regarding dimensions, each salt cellar measures 4.5 cm high, 7 cm wide, and 7 cm deep. In a modern interior, these salt cellars suit placement on a sideboard top in a dining room or living space as decorative display accessories or traditional table vessels. They function well within an English Country House aesthetic to hold small items or add period character to a tabletop setting.

FAQs

Salt cellars, or open salts, are small glass vessels used on dining tables during the Victorian period to hold salt prior to the widespread adoption of free-flowing salt shakers.

Cranberry glass was produced by adding gold chloride to molten glass batch, creating a distinctive red to pink hue when fired and shaped by skilled glassblowers.

Authentic pieces often exhibit pontil marks on the base from hand-blowing, subtle variations in glass thickness, rich colour gradients, and applied decoration like clear glass feet or white trailing.

These small glass items can be styled on a sideboard as decorative accents, used on a dining table for specialty sea salts, or repurposed as ring dishes on a dressing table.

Wash gently by hand in lukewarm water using a mild liquid soap, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive sponges that could scratch applied glass details.
