OLD SALT CELLARS.
Important Table Pieces in Time Of Good
Queen Bess.

Queen Bess.
Ever since a salt cellar sold for Sl5OOO
at Christie's, London, Eng. a couple OF
years ago, the cult of this particular
article has teen looking up. The one
in question ,.as of silver gilt, seven inches
and a half in height and bore the Lon
don hallmark for the year 1877. II
showed the makers mark, a hooded
falcon, and is supposed to have been the
work of Thomas hampton, of "Ihe Fal-
con" A cherub stood guard over this
salt receptacle in silver and rock crys-
tai Before proceeding further, it should
be stated that in days of old the salt
cellar was the social thermometer at
table.
Persons of distinction sat above the salt,
between it and the head OF the table Those
who sat below the salt we're dependents
and inferior guests.
If the salt cellar or "salers, could only
tell their secretsl What historical tangles
could be Strengthened outl
Many who have visited Christ College
Cambridge, will remember this fine silver
gilt example, which is of the most elegant
form To is ornamentod with the rose,
fleur-de-lis and portcullis, and is a charm
ing example OF old college plate, examples,
by the way in which "Merrie England"
is delightfully."- rich.
Italian majolica salts are greatly priced
by collectors because of their fine model
ing, lustrous glazes and splendid colors.
These conditions cannot be duplicated to-
day, the craftsman not being blessed with
the secrets of the potters of old.
The interesting example here repro
produced is of the late Sixteenth Century.
The designs range from horals familiar in
the Sunny South to surprising grotesque-
RES
OF the two fine examples of old Seven
teenth Century Labeth salts, that on the
left is known as the "trencher salt" There
is one of similar shape which bears the
date 1851. This form is also found in
silver, and a specimen in silver is at Cam
bridge in the possession of one of the col
leges. At the British Museum there is
an example similar to the one we illustrate
In size this "trencher salt" is as large as
a modern vegetable dish. There could
have been no doubt existing who sat above
and who sat below such prominent land
mark on the table. These two salts on
the right hand Of the illustration are in
Mr.. Phillips collection at Hitchin. The
small square white salt with pierced sides
is old Lambeth, but in form II is not dis
similar TO Continental designs of similar
cut work.
This same Mr. Phillips has in his pos
session these two surprising examples Of
Nassau ware. OF truth they speak for
themselves. English collectors complain
bitterly of the rich Americans who offer
irresistible sums for such treasures.

Large Number Of People.

Many people being unable TO find suit
able houses prior to March 25th. when
they desired 70 change their residences.
some have already bought lots upon
which they intend to erect their own
homes. A prominent real estate broker
told n reporter of Every Evening that
he had had many inquiries from people
IN this class since moving day and he
has also made some sales.
Il look for the best year in the history
OF Wilmington, so far as selling building
lots is concerned, he told the reporter.
He is convinced, from what people tell
him, that there are more residents than
ever before who have determined that
they will own their own homes. If they
can buy suitable houses many will do so.
but n large number prefer buying lots
and building houses TO suit their fancy.
