Pictures of several and at least one link to a picture can be found in 
this file in the FOOD-UTENSILS section of the Florilegium:
nefs-msg          (24K)  3/21/05    Richly decorated medieval salt 
cellars.

As you can see, I just updated this file and it will be a little while 
until this latest version is on the website. If you need it sooner, let 
me know and I will get it online or email you a copy of the file or 
that last addition.
