Spiceboxes
Antique silver salt cellars (salière) are rare and small treasures which are in particular demand. In earlier times, when salt was one of the most expensive condiments, spice boxes were used for passing the salt at the table. Antique silver small boxes for spices can be found here, along with antique silver objects concerning caster (salt caster, sugar caster or pepper caster).
