- Standing Salt, 1800-1825 - Prior to the early 20th century, Americans would have put several small, open dishes filled with salt on their dining tables. These "salts" placed the necessary seasoning within easy reach of family and guests. In the early 1800s, pattern-molded or hand-blown "salts" became affordable to the general public from a growing number of regional American glass factories.
