  SALT CELLARS, MASTER SALTS                  AND  SUGAR BOWLS
   In the Colonial Period, sugar and salt were precious. Salt was served in small bowls. These salt cellars, with tiny spoons, were placed at each table setting. They were filled from a larger bowl or Master Salt, that might be lidded or not. Sugar was served in open bowls, since only what would be used at a time was put out and anything left was stored away. A lid on that bowl would have been a waste of material. Collectively, we did not allow ourselves that kind of frivolity until after the War of 1812.
