A new salt container for Shabbat

וְכָל קָרְבַּן מִנְחָתְךָ בַּמֶּלַח תִּמְלָח וְלֹא תַשְׁבִּית מֶלַח בְּרִית אֱ-לֹהֶיךָ מֵעַל מִנְחָתֶךָ, עַל כָּל קָרְבָּנְךָ תַּקְרִיב מֶלַח (ויק' ב: יג)
"And every meal-offering of thine shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meal-offering; with all thy offerings thou shalt offer salt." (Leviticus 2,13)
This phrase shows the connection between the Altar and salt.
Following this phrase, I built a structure that resembles the Altar that was in the Holy Temple for the use of holding the salt during the Shabbat.
This salt holder is silver plated with a plexiglass container for the salt. It can aslo be gold plated. Special orders can be made in silver.
