Salt spoons are used in conjunction with a salt dish. This is a historical relic of when salt was a much more consumed condiment. As such, it required its own dish and accompanying spoon. The spoon itself is ranges from 2 to 3 inches ( 5 to 7.5 cm) long and has a circular bowl measuring approximately 0.5 to 0.75 inches (1.25 to 2 cm). Due to changes in taste and the recognition of the hazards of excessive salt, salt presentation in this manner has become largely obsolete.
