Week 3 — Salt Dishes They may be small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but salt dishes have a surprisingly rich history! Join Pat Pixley for Week 3 of History & Appreciation of Antiques as she explores Salt Dishes. From delicate porcelain and sparkling cut glass to ornate silver examples, discover the variety of materials, designs, and styles used to create these tiny tableware treasures. Learn how salt was served before the modern salt shaker became commonplace and what these pieces can reveal about dining customs, etiquette, craftsmanship, and changing tastes through the years.
