ALTHOUGH SALT is mentioned sev- eral times in the Bible and has always been a human necessity, its chief source until modern times was eap- orated seawater. Expensive; and scarce, it was a cherished household item. During the medieval period, an im- posing receptacle for it, Gothic in de- sign and from seven to twelve inches tall, known as a Standing Salt, was a most important possession and marked its owner’s social standing. From its presence on the master’s table came the expression “Above and below the salt.” By the beginning of the 17th Cen- tury simpler types of salt dishes be- gan to appear, such as the triangular trencher shape and the squat hour- glass design. These were of silver and pewter. American colonists who could i afford them probably sent back to England for the first of them. Later canary yellow and clear glass. our own silversmiths and pewterers produced salt dishes like them and in various other designs. Glass, however, was about our ear- liest industry and salt dishes in this material seem to have found favor by the 18th Century, though here again the first of them came from England, to judge from an advertisement that appeared in the Boston News Letter late in 1719. The first salt dishes made here were probably off-hand pieces blown by workmen in bottles and window glass houses. However, Stiegel produced them commercially and examples attributed to him and to Wistar in New Jersey exist in a aumber of shapes and colors. In fact, these little dishes had a greater variety of form and decora- tion than any other kind of tableware made by American glassworkers. During the century and more of their making well over a thousand differ- ent designs are known to have been produced and others are still being found. Of these the majority were pressed glass and their making began in the late 1820s and continued in quantity to about the middle of the 19th Century. ¢ Glass Salt Dishes shape showing interior with “Sandwich” These salt dishes are found in three slightly different variations.

This was covery of large deposi Syracuse, New York ana in the country about 1815. worked so extensively that by 1830 small salt dishes were in demand for the dining tables of the most modest homes. Salt dishes were probably among the products of all the houses that pro- duced pressed glass, though many of: their designs seem to have originated at Sandwich. However, the various factories pirated the patterns of their competitors without shame or twinges of conscience. Lacy patterns were at their height when salt dishes began to be made in quantity and many were made in this lovely pinpoint stippling. Some were in designs honoring per- SALT DISHES MARKED SANDWICH As early as 1827 the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company was making boat- -shaped salt dishes similar to the two illustrated. At the left the famous “Lafayet” salt dish with the great man’s name, mis- spelled, lettered in arch on paddle wheel casing. At the right, boat in raised capital letters. sons or events. The Asrtomiergte was also used as a motif. The salt dish shown here is boat-shaped with “Lafayet” on the paddle wheel, “B & S Glass Co.” on the stern; and “Sand- wich” on the base. It is one of the few marked salt dishes and comes in clear glass and in such colors as opalescent, opaque blue and translucent blue with an opalescent tinge. Other Lacy Sandwich salt dishes > were made in oblong, octagonal and circular shapes and ornamented in the varied motifs used with larger pieces. Some of them, notably those shaped like a Victorian sofa, had cov- ers which were excellent devices in a damr climate, such as prevailed on Cape Cod and other coastal areas. = Like many of our antiques, pressed glass salt dishes reflected some of the historic events that occurred when they were made. One rare example in ( clear glass is that of a flaring oblong with baskets of flowers on the sides and Gothic panels at the ends. In the base, an early steam locomotive draw- ing a solitary freight car is shown and beneath the rails and crossties is let- tered in italics, “H. Clay.” The same dish is also found with a geometric de- sign Toplacing the railroad and letter- ing. i about any heirloom of your caste Games 10c-33 Dolls 79¢-$9.95 Banks Story Books Mechanical Toys Paint Books Scooters Drawing Books Perfumes Stationery Gift Sets . . . and Mother and Daddy, too!
