FAQs

Open salt cellars are small vessels created to hold loose salt for individual diner access prior to the widespread use of free-flowing table salt shakers. Popular from the 17th century through the early 20th century, these sets often included small matching spoons and were arranged in pairs or sets of four around formal dining tables.

Historical salt cellars were commonly crafted from sterling silver, silver plate, pewter, glass, or ceramic. Silver examples frequently featured interior gold gilding (vermeil) to create a protective barrier between the metal surface and the corrosive chemical reaction of sodium chloride.

Authentic silver salt cellars feature official hallmark stamps indicating the purity of the metal, the makers mark, the assay office location, and the date letter representing the year of manufacture. Matching sets usually exhibit identical hallmarking across both the main vessels and the accompanying small salt spoons.

Designers style cased silver salts open on sideboard surfaces, dining room credenzas, or display cabinets as decorative vignettes. They can also be incorporated into contemporary dinner party tablescapes to serve specialty sea salts or artisan spices.

Silver salt cellars should be emptied and washed promptly after use to prevent chemical pitting. Clean gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive silver polishes on the interior gold gilding to preserve the thin protective gold layer.
