Mid-Century Russian Cloisonné Salt Cellar Set (With Spoons)

$150.00

One of the joys of discovering pieces from the past is imagining how special a table once looked when set with little bowls as dainty and beautiful as these, simply to hold something we now think of as ordinary salt. It sings of a time when salt was precious, and the closer you were seated to the salt cellars (as they were then known), the more important you were seen to be.

You can now be your own royalty with these three absolutely delightful green and deep red cloisonné enamel salt bowls, made most likely in the 1970s by Russian maker IOMMET. Each comes with its original glass liner and matching spoon (as fingers are certainly not to be used), and despite their age would not look out of place on the tables of today.

  • Each bowl measures approximately 6.5cm in diameter, with a glass liner of around 5cm.
    Height: approximately 3.5cm.
    Silver-plated body with green and deep red cloisonné enamel inlay.

    Each bowl includes a removable glass liner and a matching small spoon.

    All pieces are stamped with the maker’s mark IOMMET (also seen spelt as 1OMMET, HOMMET, or 1UMMET - all transliterations of the same Cyrillic mark).

  • Overall the condition is very good. All enamel is intact with no losses, and there is no damage to the silver-plate. You will notice some darker marks inside the bowls, typically around the seams - consistent with age and use.

    The glass liners are perfect with no chips or cracks.

    The spoon bowls have a soft golden tone. This may be from gentle wear over time, though it was also traditional for salt spoons to be gilded to protect the flavour of the salt and to add a decorative flourish.

  • For me, these types of pieces can really make a table setting or elevate a cheese platter. Fill them with salt (of course), pepper, mustard, olives, caviar, dips, truffle - anything that adds that extra delicious “something” to your table.

    Don’t ever be shy to use older pieces like this as they bring personality, charm and a little “voilà” to any occasion. They’re here to be enjoyed, have fun!
