FAQs

A Georgian cut glass salt cellar is a small, open vessel used on dining tables during the 18th and early 19th centuries to hold loose salt for individual diners or communal use.

These items were typically hand-blown using lead or potash glass, then meticulously hand-cut with faceted wheels to create geometric light-reflecting patterns, often utilizing mineral oxides to achieve distinctive colours like amethyst.

Authentic pieces exhibit characteristics such as pontil marks on the base, heavy weight due to lead content, hand-cut facets with slight irregularities, and minor wear consistent with age.

They can be displayed on open shelving, used as small catchalls for jewellery on a dressing table, or integrated into a curated tablescape to add a touch of historical colour and texture.

Clean antique glass gently using lukewarm water and mild washing-up liquid with a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, and sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.
