FAQs

Salt cellars, or open salts, were small vessels designed to hold table salt before free-flowing salt with anti-caking additives was introduced in the early twentieth century. During the Victorian era, highly decorative forms featuring animals, shells, and figural designs became popular accents for formal dining tables.

Victorian silver-plated salts were typically manufactured using electroplating techniques over a base metal such as nickel silver or Britannia metal. Components were cast in detailed sections, joined with silver solder, and hand-chased to highlight natural textures such as feathers and rockwork.

Authentic Victorian silver-plated pieces usually feature makers marks or electroplate stampings, such as EPNS (Electroplated Nickel Silver) or manufacturer trademarks on the underside. Original period examples also display characteristic nineteenth-century casting seam lines and finely chased surface details.

Figural salt cellars can be displayed on a dining table or sideboard as decorative holders for spices, salts, or small items of jewellery. Placing them alongside streamlined modern tableware or neutral linen textures creates a balanced visual contrast.

Clean silver-plated items using a soft cloth and a specialised, non-abrasive silver polish to prevent wearing through the plated layer. If salt is placed directly inside the bowls, wash and dry them thoroughly after use to prevent surface corrosion and oxidisation.
