What is a condiment pot pair?

A condiment pot pair consists of two matching tableware vessels designed for holding table seasonings such as salt and pepper. These pieces typically date from the Victorian and Edwardian periods and are often found complete with original presentation boxes.

How were salt cellars used?

Victorian and Edwardian diners used open salt cellars by taking pinches of salt directly from the vessel using small salt spoons. Because salt corrodes silver over time, makers inserted removable cobalt glass liners to protect the metal body of the cellar.

Are these items made of solid silver?

The listings on this page comprise sterling silver and silver items bearing period hallmarks from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Makers also incorporated secondary materials such as cobalt glass, velvet, silk, and leather in liners and fitted cases.

What are novelty pepper pots?

Novelty pepper pots are condiment containers shaped into pictorial or figural forms rather than standard cylindrical pots. Examples from these eras include items modelled as animals, birds, and character figures with pierced heads for dispensing pepper.
