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

Open salt cellars were developed as individual or shared vessels to hold rock salt or ground salt before anti-caking agents were added to table salt in the early twentieth century. These small bowls sat directly on the dining table alongside miniature salt spoons, allowing diners to pinch or scoop salt onto their plates.

Salt is highly corrosive to metals, including sterling silver and silver plate, causing severe oxidisation and pitting over extended contact. Removable glass liners, often rendered in deep cobalt blue, were designed to prevent chemical reactions between the salt and the metal frame while adding visual contrast.

Authentic pieces generally feature stamped hallmarks indicating the silver purity, makers mark, assay office, and date letter, typically located on the base or rim. Additional indicators include hand-engraved details, cast foot attachments with visible seam lines, and period-appropriate glass liners that fit the contours of the metal frames precisely.

Antique silver salts can be arranged at individual place settings or clustered along the center of a table as part of a formal tablescape. They are frequently used in contemporary settings to hold specialty finishing salts, mustard, or small spices during dinner parties.

The glass liners should be washed separately in warm, soapy water and dried thoroughly before replacement. Silver components should be wiped gently with a non-abrasive silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage intricate cast detailing.
