What is another word for salt cellar?
Pronunciation: [sˈɒlt sˈɛlə] (IPA) 
Salt cellar, a small container designed to hold salt, has been used since ancient times. It is also known by various names, including salt crock, salt pig, saltbox, salt keeper, and salt shaker. While all these terms describe a container for storing table salt, each name has its distinct style and history. A saltbox is a larger container with a hinged lid that was used to store salt in pre-refrigeration times. On the other hand, a salt pig is a popular choice in French cuisine with a spout for easy access. Meanwhile, a salt shaker typically has a top that dispenses a controlled amount of salt, while a salt cellar often has a lid to keep out dust and moisture.
