Vintage Porcelain Nippon Celery Dish and Salt Cellar Set (rare pattern)

Vintage Nippon Porcelain Celery Dish & Salt Cellar Set – Heirloom Housewares Collection – Set No. 1

From your own farmhouse shelf comes this delightfully rare set: a hand-painted Nippon porcelain celery dish with matching five salt cellars, each adorned with tiny painted celery stalks and golden trim.

Lovingly kept in my personal collection for years, this whimsical and delicate serving set offers all the charm of early 20th-century Japanese porcelain — detailed with care, softly faded in just the right ways, and brimming with individuality. Each salt cellar is slightly unique, a small celebration of handcraft.

The oval celery dish features elegant cutout handles and a shape perfect for everything from crudités and tea sandwiches to sushi or garden party delights. It's the kind of piece that effortlessly blends nostalgia, sweetness, and usefulness — a true heirloom at heart.
