This pair of Edwardian open salts takes the form of novelty condiment baskets, accompanied by small silver serving spoons. The items exhibit a clear and silver colour palette, with faceted cut glass bodies and arched strap handles made of silver. Each circular basket rests on a flat base and incorporates a curved overhead handle secured to the rim, while the matching spoon rests across the interior. The glass features complex geometric cutting with triangular and diamond facets reflecting light across the surfaces. The spoons display miniature bowls and slender, flat stems with engraved detail near the terminal. Each open salt measures 6 cm high, 6 cm wide, and 6 cm deep. These functional tableware items suit use on a dining table or sideboard to serve salt, mustard, or other condiments during formal or casual meals. The transparent glass and reflective metal components integrate easily into traditional table settings, adding a decorative element to breakfast rooms, dining rooms, or kitchen displays. The pair provides a practical serving solution for table salt or spices while maintaining a traditional aesthetic suited to English Country House interiors.

FAQs

During the Edwardian era of the early 20th century, formal dining etiquette required individual or paired table vessels for salt and condiments. Open salts in the shape of small baskets or tubs were popular table appointments prior to the introduction of free-flowing salt shakers containing anti-caking agents.

These table accessories were typically crafted from heavy cut lead crystal or moulded glass paired with sterling silver or silver-plated handles, rims, and matching small spoons. The combination allowed the brilliant refractions of the glass to complement polished silver table settings.

Authentic pieces generally feature genuine hallmark stampings or makers marks on the silver handles or spoons indicating the era and origin. Additionally, period glass displays characteristic hand-cut geometric patterns and a slight greyish tint or weight typical of historic glassmaking.

In contemporary settings, small antique condiment baskets can be placed on dining tables or sideboards to serve sea salt flakes, spices, or mustard during dinner parties. They can also serve as decorative trinket dishes on a dressing table or vanity for small items of jewellery.

Clean the glass bodies gently by hand in warm water with a mild detergent, using a soft brush for intricate cut detailing. Silver components and spoons should be polished using a dedicated silver cloth or non-abrasive paste to prevent tarnish build-up without eroding the metal finish.
