What are cased silver salt cellars?

These items are matched sets of small open bowls or shakers designed to hold salt at the dining table, preserved inside custom-fitted boxes. They usually include matching spoons and sometimes glass liners to protect the silver.

How were salt cellars used?

Before free-flowing salt was common, guests used small spoons to take salt from open cellars placed beside their plates. Complete cruet sets grouped salt cellars together with mustard pots and pepper shakers on the dining table.

How do I date a silver salt set?

Dating relies heavily on the hallmarks stamped directly into the silver, which record the assay office and exact year of production. Stylistic cues, such as Victorian ornamentation or Art Deco geometric lines, also point towards specific eras.

How should I care for silver salts?

Silver requires gentle cleaning with appropriate polish to remove tarnish without wearing away fine details or hallmarks. Glass liners should be washed separately to ensure no salt residue remains in contact with the metal.
