Cathy's Open Salts Page

Salt cellar, salt dish, salt dip, salt pinch, open salt, single salt, double salt. What a collection of names for such a small item intended to serve salt and made from glass, metal, stone, and a myriad of other materials.

I started collecting these little pieces of history in late 2003, and have been amazed by the variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and materials that open salts can be found in. I hope you enjoy browsing through the pictures of my salts.
