Salt cellars are known, in various forms, by assorted names including open salt, salt dip, standing salt, master salt, and salt dish. Salt cellars, as well as individual salt and pepper shakers, are placed above an individual place setting or, when shared, above and in between the two place settings. Today, salt cellars can also be used for individual condiment servings (ketchup, clotted cream, duck sauce, soy sauce, jam, mustard, etc) or any number of other uses including use as butter pats, sugar cubes, tea bag holders, lemon wedges or pretty receptacle for after dinner mints. Dress up your table with antique salt cellars for that extra special touch.

This is part of a huge collection of antique Nippon porcelain that I recently acquired from a longtime elderly collector who needed to sell off her collection as she was moving into an assisted living facility. All pieces are authentic and antique. I will be listing more of these pieces over the next few weeks, so please check back to see what is new to my shop.
