The shape of these salts and the bead-edging makes them very elegant indeed. Also, they are large enough to be put to other uses when not needed for salt. We always have salt spoons in stock and are happy to advise you as to which would go best with the salts which you choose. Robert Hennell (I) was part of the Hennell dynasty, which produced the most numerous silversmiths of one family working continuously over the longest period, with a consistently high standard of execution. Salts and mustard pots were very much their speciality.
