Condition Report
Each salt displays general wear, tarnishing and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. One of the salts is quite dinted and misshapen around the pierced rim and both wobble slightly when standing, one more than the other. Other minor surface nicks and dints. Interiors were probably once gilded but this is now very faded. Remnants of polish in some areas. Hallmarks are clear and legible, however the maker's marks are difficult to read as they are a little lost in the embossed decoration.
