Condition Report
All four salts display general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. There is some wear to the embossed decoration and also some tarnishing. There are also some minor dints in the metal, especially around the rims. One of the salts has a split in the metal on the flared rim. The foot rims on all the salts are very slightly misshapen and a couple of the salts appear to be very slightly misshapen in the main body. Some of the seam lines are visible. Hallmarks are slightly rubbed but all still clear and legible.
