I think the date you are showing for when salt shaker replaced salt cellars is incorrect. I am wondering if you ment 1850 not 1959?
Removed the following claim pertaining to the ancient Chinese salt tax:
Not only was this the first salt tax, it was first tax of any kind
The WP article on Tax (History) has a sourced statement that the earliest taxes were levied in Egypt, 3000 to 2800 BC. I also tagged the lead-in sentence for a citation (i.e., that the Chinese emperor levied a salt tax around 2000 BC. The whole paragraph is really incidental to the article and could be removed.

Started editing this article a few months ago, but there was so little structure and so many difficult claims, I decided to scrap the text and rewrite. I did not get rid of all the information, only anything that was not properly sourced or dead links. Even though this article now has a bunch of (probably) reliable sources on it, it could still use a lot of help. For me, reliable sources on current collecting were difficult to access (I'm sure there must be many). Also, info on use of the saltcellar (or something like) outside Europe and North America is lacking. Richigi ( talk) 18:05, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
I suggest we merge Salt pig into Salt cellar. The latter claims they're synonyms, and the former is a stub. — Moriwen ( talk) 03:34, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
