FAQs

An open salt cellar, also known as a salt dip, is a small vessel designed to hold salt at table settings prior to the widespread introduction of free-flowing salt shakers in the 20th century. Historically crafted from precious metals like sterling silver, they often included glass liners to protect the metal from corrosion.

Cobalt blue glass liners were commonly fitted inside silver salt cellars to prevent sodium chloride from chemically reacting with and corroding the sterling silver. The vivid blue glass also provided an attractive visual contrast against polished silver metalwork.

Authentic British sterling silver from the 1930s bears official town hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for silver purity, a date letter, and a makers mark. Silver produced during 1935 may also feature the special Jubilee hallmark depicting King George V and Queen Mary.

These compact silver pieces can serve as elegant ring dishes on a dressing table, decorative salt dips for fine dining tables, or display items inside a glass cabinet. Pairing them with contemporary tableware adds a touch of historic interest.

Remove the glass liner to wash separately in warm soapy water, ensuring it is thoroughly dried before reinserting. Clean the sterling silver casing gently with a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners.
