These sweet individual salt cellars for your dinner party are made from sterling silver and glass...Each is marked sterling. Two have an additional marker's mark that I cannot identify. I have two remaining, which could serve 4. All of them having a tiny silver spoon, as well. I cannot find quality marks on the spoons, so they may not be sterling.
Lovely. Priced per piece.
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 side on just two of them; they're older and the mark appears to be rubbed free on the others, the classic old mark of WC with an arrow through it. The word "Sterling" is also plainly visible on all of them.
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.

The second type of cherubs is an antique. I have spoons by both Betz and Albo. You just need to let me know your preference.

If you’re shopping around, watch out for salt cellars made of silver plate. These are 925 silver, not silver plate. Silver plate will not stand up to the salts and will ruin quickly...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.)
No monogram.
Commensurate with age, the condition is good.
