Where can I find a salt and pepper serving set? Not a shaker, they're like little dishes with tiny spoons?

My boyfriend's parents have them and I'd like to get a set for my mom, she'd like them. They're these little cups attached together with these tiny crystal spoons that you scoop the salt and pepper with.

    There are two schools of thought on identifying salt vs. pepper shakers by their holes. I subscribe to the one that uses the most holes for the salt - especially if the holes are larger. Salt used to come in larger granules than today, and generally speaking, people use more salt than pepper on their food. On the other hand, pepper is sometimes ground coarsely and you need larger holes for dispensing. In my collection of 1,624 sets of shakers, I have assigned the ones with the more holes as the salt shakers. Hope this helps.

    try eBay for salt dishes. I have some antique ones that are tiny cut crystal bowls, with individual really tiny little silver spoons (my point is, that they aren't necessarily attached together)....
