FAQs

Open salt cellars are small vessels used to hold loose salt at individual dining places before anti-caking agents allowed salt to flow freely in modern shakers. During the nineteenth century, salt was served using miniature salt spoons from decorated glass or silver cellars.

Victorian salt cellars were commonly produced in solid sterling silver, electroplated nickel silver (EPNS), or cut glass. Silver examples often featured gilded interiors or blue glass liners to protect the metal from the corrosive effects of salt.

Authentic British sterling silver items carry a series of stamped hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling purity, an assay office mark (such as a leopards head for London or anchor for Birmingham), a date letter, and a makers mark.

Beyond traditional table settings, antique silver salt cellars serve as delicate trinket dishes on a dressing table, ring holders beside a basin, or small decorative accents displayed on a sideboard or mantelpiece.

Salt should be emptied immediately after use to prevent chemical pitting of the metal. Wash the cellars in warm soapy water, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth, and clean periodically using a specialized silver polishing cloth.
