A Little pinch of Pepper and Salt.

In the past I have given you a collection of different types spoons:

I followed this on later with the knives and forks of again various types.

So we are ready for the meal but would like either a pinch of Pepper, Salt or Mustard. Here is a collection of table condiment containers, mostly pepperettes and mustard containers. In these days you took a pinch of salt out of a little bowl.

L to R.

Pepperette (Chester) 1917

Pepperette (Birmingham) 1920

Mustard Pot (Birmingham) 1914

Mustard Pot (Birmingham) 1897

Pepperette (Birmingham) 1918

Pepperette (Sheffield) 1907

So what next decorated the Victorian and Edwardian tables, must look out for Sugar Shifters for those lovely puddings. Wouldn't the tables in Downton Abbey look fantastic.

They look so elegant! I think a pinch of salt out of a little bowl would be just the ticket. Our salt mill is always getting clogged up.

Lovely collection, beautifully photographed, must be quite valuable too.

Quite the lovely capture. I'm fond of them all,but I believe the 1907 is the best!

I just love the 1914 mustard pot. Wonderfully presented and all shiny to boot.
