Silver Trappings

Salt Cellars

This week for Show & Tell Sunday, Cindy at Junque Art is asking for one of our favorite vintage collections. One of my favorites is my salt cellars.

This collection just started by accident. I found this old pewter salt shaker at an estate sale and bought it.

Then one day I found this 3 piece set on ebay - a salt cellar, pepper shaker, and a mustard pot.

I also bought these grape salt and pepper shakers on ebay. By now I'm sensing an addiction coming on, and I started looking for salt and pepper shakers everywhere I went.
These two little silver salt cellars came from ebay, too.

My mom had two of these silver and cobalt salt cellars, and when she became aware of my little collection, she gave both of them to me! This one lives by my stove so I have salt close by when I am cooking (*to my kids: stop snorting and laughing - I do too cook! Yes, my chicken and mashed potatoes and green beans dinner is considered food. Is too!!! Is too!!! Is too!!!)

The cobalt blue double salt cellar below also came from my mom, and I ran across the silver salt and pepper shakers at Goodwill.

And these little shakers I have picked up at various estate sales along the way.

Do you think my family needs to be on high blood pressure medication just as a preventive measure?
