FAQs

A Victorian silver salt cellar is a small vessel designed to hold loose salt on a dining table before anti-caking agents allowed the widespread use of salt shakers.

Victorian salt cellars were commonly crafted from sterling silver, bearing official hallmarks, and were often paired with small matching silver spoons.

Authentic pieces display official British hallmark stamps including the anchor for the Birmingham assay office, the lion passant for sterling silver, the date letter l for 1885, and registered maker initials.

These small silver vessels can be positioned on a sideboard, used as individual seasoning dishes for formal dining, or displayed as decorative table accents.

Salt should be washed out immediately after use to prevent silver corrosion, followed by gentle polishing with a silver cloth and storage in anti-tarnish tissue.
