I have been working on a batch of salt cellar pincushions based around a food theme. The stove salt cellar is unique and goes along with the theme. I wanted more information so I tried an internet search but could not find a single picture of the stove. I thought that was strange! I have 2 books that I use for research and found the stove referenced in each book.
Salt Cellar Name: Figural Stove or Stove salt
Year(s) Produced: 1880-85
Glass Maker: Central Glass Co., located in Wheeling WV.
The Open Salt Compendium labeled the salt cellar as extremely rare and 5,000 Open Salts stated that the salt cellar was only made in one size and never reproduced.

My glass collecting has not included detailed documentation of when and where I’ve found all of the salt cellars I own. So, I do not know when or where I happened to find this fun piece.

Learning how rare this salt cellar is only motivates me to go glass hunting!
Happy quilting and crafting! ▶︎ ▶︎ ▶︎
