FAQs

Salt cellars were essential dining table accessories during the 19th century, used for holding loose salt before the invention of free-flowing table salt. Elaborate designs in sterling silver and coloured glass reflected the status of the household.

These items typically combine high-purity sterling silver mounts, often featuring pierced or cast decorative work, with blown or moulded glass inserts, commonly in cranberry or ruby tones.

Authenticity is verified through makers marks, hallmarks indicating purity and date of manufacture, and the weight and construction quality of the silver mount and fitted glass liner.

These small decorative objects can be displayed on a sideboard, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or used functionally on a dining table to add historical texture and colour to contemporary table settings.

Silver mounts should be cleaned periodically with a non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding contact with the glass inserts. Glass liners should be washed by hand in warm soapy water without harsh chemicals.
