FREE: Two Matching Round Salt Dips Encased in Silverplate Metal

The listing, Two Matching Round Salt Dips Encased in Silverplate Metal has ended.

This is the only matching set of salt dips I have. They are about 1 3/4 inches round and encased in metal (see picture) The bottom says silver plate I do not have any silver cleaner in my home, so i am sure these can look much better.

If you have never heard of salt dips before here is a brief description:

These date back to the early 1800's. Salt was placed in a master salt on a dinner table. Each place setting at the table included a small salt cellar. The master salt was passed to each individual who would place salt in the salt cellar at his or her setting. Then that individual would sprinkle the desired salt on their food. Some may have pinched the desired amount of if you came from a well to do family you probably used a silver salt spoon.

The salt dips I have up for auction are from my mothers collection, I just do not have room for these anymore. I only have three spoons in my possession which I will be auctioning off separately. Please check all the salt dip auctions! There are different shapes, colors and glass cuts.
