I adore them, but don’t have what must be teeny tiny spoons? They are too small for a standard spoon to go in them, so haven’t used them. They be hard pressed to be able to stick of piece of celery in them. They are small! How are they supposed to be used? When I look on eBay for salt cellar spoons, they go with a much larger cellar.

It is a crystal ship, seemingly representing the Santa Maria, with a silver sail that is attached, and a silver spoon shaped like an anchor, which is also attached. I'm curious to know the value of this particular salt seller. I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen one like it. I have been informed that there are a few out there, and told that I'm lucky to have it.
