FAQs

During the Victorian era, open salt cellars were an essential component of formal dining, used to hold and display salt before the invention of free-flowing table salt in the 20th century.

They were typically crafted using sterling silver via casting, piercing, and chased decoration, and paired with blown cobalt blue glass liners to protect the metal from corrosion.

Authentic pieces feature clear British hallmarks including a date letter, lion passant for sterling silver, makers mark, and assay office symbol, alongside characteristic hand-finished detailing.

They can be repurposed as small decorative vessels on a mantelpiece, used to hold rings on a dressing table, or integrated into a sophisticated tablescape.

Silver should be cleaned gently with a specialist non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage patination and vintage glass liners.
