Scope note:

Vessels having a perforated top for sprinkling table salt on food. Saltshakers are made in a variety of forms and materials, including glass, ceramic, and metal. They are often paired with a pepper shaker. Saltshakers and pepper shakers may be designed in whimsical forms that are considered collectibles. For similar objects for sprinkling salt but made of precious materials and designed as part of a larger set of casters, particularly in historical or formal usage, use "salt casters."
