It sounds like you are looking for what is referred to as a "salt box." They
were very common
at the turn of the last century and are probably reproduced today. They are
usually porcelain
or lithographed tin and may be covered (hinged) or uncovered. They were
frequently hung
on the wall near the stove but some were made as shelf sitters. You can find
vintage/antique
salt boxes in antique stores or online at eBay.
