Back in the late 19th century and into the early 20th, it was not uncommon for a table setting to incorporate the use of open salt cellars as well as spoons. Each article would be placed at the individual table setting.
Tines have certainly changed but salt cellars are still quite popular. Their understated clean lines and functionality offer a modern yet classic aesthetic look that never goes out of style.
A very attractive set of 4 Tiffany and Company American Sterling Silver Square Salt Cellars having a hand hammered design and set on four ball feet. A square shape provides a more contemporary, structured look as compared to the traditional circular or more elaborate styles. They have gilt interiors which protects the silver from tarnishing caused by salt. This is a practical and necessary feature that adds to any salt cellar.
