These are extremely smart salt cellars. The one with the slightly rubbed marks has obviously been used more frequently than the others. Charles Fox (II) is known for his consistently high quality of production and these salts are no exception. He has been quoted as possibly being the last individualist plateworker before the flood of Victorian mass production.
