Sterling Silver Salt Cellars, Cobalt Blue Glass Liners & Spoons — Set of 4

Before salt shakers, there were salt cellars — one at each place setting, a small spoon alongside, a mark of the well-appointed American table from the mid-19th century through the early 20th. These four sterling silver examples feature faceted, flared sidewalls that taper to a flat base, each seating a removable cobalt blue glass liner that turns the simple act of passing salt into something worth noticing. All four holders are marked STERLING. The four accompanying salt spoons are cast in sterling with scalloped shell bowls and flared paddle handles — the kind of detail that separates a proper table setting from a casual one.

Four settings, four guests — and these translate effortlessly to the table today. Use them for salt, dips, or condiments; set a tea light inside each liner for an instant centerpiece; arrange them on a tray and let the cobalt do the work. All four cobalt glass liners and all four spoons are included.

CONDITION Good overall; silver retains solid structure on both holders and spoons. Tarnish is present throughout on all pieces — polishing will restore surface brightness. No damage to any of the four glass liners.
