Condition Report
Both salts display general wear, some light tarnishing and general surface marks and scratches. Both also display several minor nicks and small surface dints to the main body and underside, one salt displaying slightly more than the other. Some slight loss of detail to the ribbed decoration. It is also possible to see the impression to the interior on four of the feet. Hallmarks are slightly distorted, especially the maker's marks, but all are just about legible. Glass liners are later replacements and one of them has a large crack running through it.
