The use of salt cellars continued through the 1940s, but have been gradually replaced with salt shakers. Salt cellars, also known as salt dips, open salts, and salt dishes, are not cellars at all, but an open dish, without a lid, that was used by wealthy families from the middle ages until WW II. Salt cellars used to be made of glass, but in recent times can be found in many different media, including porcelain, pewter, silver, and wood. Sometime after 1950, salt cellars have become a coveted collectible.
