  • Details
    Aren't they lovely? Salt cellars are such an elegant addition to every table, and if you elect to grab the spoons (I have both new and those from Webster), you can easily put one between two people. I have ten. Priced per piece; reach out for me if you'd like several.

    It's rare for me to not give my antique pieces a little shine with a gentle polish like Hagerty. But these...I just like the uniform way in which the patina wraps them. They must have been put away for a good long time and never touched, for they're pretty perfect and really lovely. I will shine them for you, if you'd like, but they're sweet this way, too. These are monogrammed with an R. The Victorian lettering is always a little up for debate. The monogram is barely visible though, due to the patina, and I almost missed it. As an added gift, the interior is gold washed, which will prevent corrosion when the salt is in them.

    These sterling silver servers made by the Webster company, founded in 1869 by George K. Webster, established in North Attleboro, MA, where many of the early turn of the century craftsmen set up their shops. The Webster brand is visible on the bottom rim, the classic old mark of WC with an arrow through it. The word "Sterling" is also plainly visible.

    Salt cellars make a great wedding gift or special piece for any silver lover, especially now as flavored salts grace many foodie tables. My favorite salt for these cellars is the flaky tasty salt made by Maldon. https://www.amazon.com/Maldon-Sea-Salt-Flakes-ounce/dp/B00017028M

    If you’re shopping around, watch out for salt cellars made of silver plate. These are 925 silver, not silver plate. A word of caution...some sellers advertise "silver" when they are not. Be sure that you can see the mark.

    Since these are sterling silver, you don't have to worry about the finish wearing off with use. A simple polish removes any accumulating tarnish. (I prefer Hagerty Silversmith's wash with a tarnish preventative. Avoid using silver dips; they'll remove the lovely patina that gathers in the crevices to enhance the detail of these pieces.)

    Commensurate with age, the condition is excellent.
