salt cellar
Table sodium container
A salt cellar is a small container for holding salt at the table, typically with a lid or open top.
Before salt shakers became common, diners would pinch salt from a shared cellar.
The term persists for decorative or antique vessels: a sterling silver salt cellar from the Victorian era.
