Pair of Antique Edwardian Sterling Silver Salt Cellars with Cobalt Glass Liners - 1902

1900 - 1920
Description

A Pair of Antique Edwardian Sterling Silver Salt Cellars, each fitted with a deep cobalt blue glass liner. The sterling silver mounts are pierced and engraved with repeating decorative motifs, finished with a neat beaded rim to the lip. Hallmarked for Sheffield, 1902.

Each cellar stands on a low circular foot, giving a balanced, slightly elevated presentation on the table. The glass liners are a rich dark blue, providing a striking contrast against the bright silver and giving a very clean look when filled. These salts are accompanied by a pair of sterling silver salt spoons with gold-washed bowls, hallmarked for London, 1884.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Salt cellars are small open vessels designed to hold table salt, produced widely prior to the addition of anti-caking agents in salt during the twentieth century. Silver examples were often created as decorative accessories for formal dining tables.

Sodium chloride reacts chemically with silver, causing rapid corrosion and tarnish. Removable glass liners, particularly in cobalt blue, were added to protect the metal work while providing visual contrast against the silver.

Authentic British sterling silver cellars from the Edwardian era feature official hallmark stamps including the lion passant mark, an assay town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark. Pieces from 1901 to 1910 frequently incorporate delicate neoclassical Pierced work and light scrolling motifs.

These small vessels can be displayed on sideboards or dining tables as functional salt dips during formal meals, or repurposed as small containers for delicate jewellery on bedside tables and dressing areas.

Wash the glass liners separately in warm soapy water using a soft cloth. The silver mounts should be wiped gently with a dedicated silver polishing cloth, taking care not to allow chemical polishes to collect in intricate filigree or pierced details.
