FAQs

A Georgian cut glass salt cellar is an open receptacle produced during the 18th or early 19th century to serve loose salt at the dining table. Before anti-caking agents allowed the use of salt shakers, open salts were essential dining accessories designed to display high-status lead glass craft.

Pieces were crafted from heavy lead crystal glass, which provided superior clarity and refractive qualities. Craftsmen cut geometric designs into the cold glass using rotating iron and stone wheels, followed by polishing with wooden wheels and fine abrasives.

Authentic pieces feature noticeable weight due to high lead content, sharp or slightly hand-finished cut edges, and subtle variations in symmetrical pattern details from manual cutting. They often display slight foot rim wear consistent with age and occasional hand-ground pontil marks on the underside.

Beyond serving as formal dining table accessories, small open glass salts can be repurposed on a dressing table to hold small items of jewellery or placed on a tray to catch pin-sized trinkets.

Hand wash antique glass in warm water using a mild washing-up liquid and a soft brush to remove dust from cut facets. Avoid dishwashers and extreme temperature changes, as thermal shock can cause stress cracks in historic lead crystal.
