The salts are in good condition commensurate with age and use. The items have general scratches, marks and tarnishing to the whole with some polish build up along the applied scroll feet and floral rim. There is some pitting and shallow dents visible along the fluted rims of the body some of which have weakened and broken through completely leaving minor hollows on the surface. The guilt interior is intact but with a varying degree of discoloration amongst the two salts. One of the salts does not sit flat to the surface and may need some attention. Maker's mark and hallmarks are clear and legible.
