Wit and wine - a feature of the table? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saltcellar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the table?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'wit and wine a feature' is the wordplay.
'wit' becomes 'salt' (salt can mean wit or spirit).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wine a feature' becomes 'cellar' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'salt'+'cellar'='SALTCELLAR'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saltcellar that I've seen before include "Small table dish" , "Condiment shaker" , "Diner's sprinkler" .)
