FAQs

A silver swan salt cellar is a small open tableware vessel designed to hold salt, traditionally cast or chased in the figurative form of a swan with a shell-like cavity or opening.

These table accessories are commonly cast in solid silver or silver-plate, featuring detailed hand-chasing to replicate feathers and a fluted or shell-shaped bowl for holding salt.

Authentic Spanish silver pieces typically feature hallmark stamps indicating purity and origin, often located on the underside or rim alongside distinct chased details.

Place the piece at the centre of a formal dining table, display it on a sideboard tray, or use it on a vanity top to store small items of jewellery.

Clean gently with a soft cotton cloth and silver polish, taking care to remove residual salt promptly to prevent surface pitting and oxidisation over time.
