My grandmother made similar bowls, and darling teacups with saucer attached, about 50 years ago. Also sugared!
While these are beautiful, I would wonder about the long-term stability in something so spendy. Salt attracts moisture, and probably a breakdown in the fabric structure. In a patch of really humid weather, I would think the surface under a salted bowl would suffer too.

I would hardly call that a modernization, my mom had salted doilies things kicking around the house since forever, I hate them.

My grandma used to make THE EXACT SAME BOWLS, but using sugar crystals instead of salt. I used to suck on the edges (mmm..sugar).
