Pair of Double Salt Cellars in Molded Glass and Wooden Handle – Retro Candle Holders

Armelle's Finds

✨ Features: Rediscover the elegance of yesteryear's tables with this duo of double salt cellars. Long before the invention of modern table mills, these glass pieces were used to present ground salt and pepper. They are made of pressed glass with a wooden handle resembling a chess pawn, dating them to around 1930-1950. Before this period, handles were often made of solid glass.

🔍 Details & Condition: These pieces date from the first half of the 20th century (1930s-1950s). Note: Please observe the photos carefully, as they are an integral part of the description. This piece is in beautiful vintage condition. It has gracefully weathered the years and bears their traces (see photos). The glass has remained very clear, attesting to its manufacturing quality.

💚 Why we love it: We love their versatility and their ability to be reinvented! Today, these old-fashioned salt cellars are rarely used as such, but they are absolutely sublime when repurposed as small table candle holders. Slip in two small "tea light" candles or slim candles: the molded glass and diamond-point facets will make the light sparkle spectacularly during your dinners. It's also a charming idea for bedside trinket dishes or for presenting rare spices.
