Open Salt Journal


Star Bar


The categories are set up by the shape of the glass open salts. Round shaped salts have the largest number so are broken down more. Other shapes are not as plentiful but will still have at least a master size category (TAB) and cut glass category (CUT). I have one general shape posted below to help find what you might be looking up. Then click on the category name or picture to see all open salts in that category.

If the salt is shown in other references the information is in the bar at the bottom.

This Journal was just recently started and may, in fact, never be complete. It will be a long process. It would not be possible without the tremendous amount of help, pictures, measurements and information supplied by the people who participate regularly on this website's Message Board. If you have a different salt to add to a group, please post it on the current H&J link on the Message Board or email me at DRaitz@aol.com.
