Salt
and pepper holders are to be placed together. The pepper holder is placed
parallel to the visual left of, or at an angle to the salt holder. In homes,
individual holders can be placed above each place setting, or above the dessert
flatware.
Holders
are to be placed to the left of an ashtray if one is set in a place setting.
Common, large, holders can be placed between and above each two place settings,
or in reach of at least one person at the table.
In
commercial dining rooms, salt and pepper holders can be placed next to the
table centerpiece. On like tables, these items are to be placed consistently.
In a
home, the salt and pepper holders are to be filled each time before being put in
use. The holes are to be cleaned routinely. Silver plate (metal) holders are
emptied and cleaned after each use.
In
past formal service, salt and pepper holders consisted of a pepper pot and a
salt cellar with a spoon. Today these are just useful creative novelties; if
you already have them, use them. It is O.K. if you do not have them. They are
placed in the same manner as other holders.
Book
Matches
Book
matches are to be placed left of top center the place setting or of any
ashtray. They may be placed in a tent fold, or lain down with the striker
closet to the cover. Matches may be overprinted and used as a memento (even
when ashtrays are omitted and after smoking has been disallowed.)
The
Ashtray
The
ashtray is placed above the place setting, and/or above the dessert flatware,
at the top center of the place setting. In truly formal service it is omitted,
or is replaced by one designed and shaped like a flower. The petals may be
turned and removed. The body of each petal is an ashtray. The ashtray may be
omitted.
