This elegant set of sterling silver salt shakers and matching open salt cellars is a refined example of classic Georg Jensen design, bearing the well-known Model 433 designation. Produced in Denmark during the mid-20th century, the set reflects Jensen’s hallmark balance of functionality, sculptural form, and restrained ornament.
Each lidded salt shaker features a gracefully tapering, bell-shaped silhouette with softly fluted vertical ribs and subtle, hand-engraved scrolling motifs. The pierced lids are thoughtfully designed for controlled dispensing, while the small baluster finials provide a pleasing visual finish and easy handling. The bodies rest on three rounded bun feet, giving the pieces both stability and a light, architectural lift from the table surface.
The accompanying open salt cellars echo the same smooth, rounded profile and sit low and wide for ease of use. Their minimalist form contrasts beautifully with the more decorative shakers, creating a balanced and harmonious table set. The included matching sterling salt spoons (where present) complete the ensemble, maintaining uniformity of material and design.
All pieces are clearly hallmarked on the underside with “STERLING – DENMARK – 433” alongside the Georg Jensen maker’s marks, confirming authenticity and quality. The silver has developed a gentle, even patina consistent with age, enhancing the sculptural contours without obscuring detail.
Why this set stands out:
Authentic Georg Jensen production, Model 433
Solid sterling silver throughout
Classic Danish modern influence with traditional elegance
Practical, usable forms paired with collectible design pedigree
Ideal for a formal dining table, a well-appointed sideboard, or a curated silver collection, this Georg Jensen salt set proves that even the smallest tablewares deserve thoughtful design. After all, good seasoning—and good silver—has always been a matter of proper taste
