George IV silver vinaigrette of rectangular form, with stippled and engraved decoration to top...

Both items are in poor condition and display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use.  Heavy tarnishing is visible and both would benefit from a clean and polish.  There is loss of detail to the decoration on the vinaigrette and several surface dints, especially to the top.  Some splits in the metal around the hinges and the grille has now broken off.  Hallmarks to interior are slightly rubbed but still legible.  There are numerous dints to the card case, to main body and especially to edges and corners.  The hinged lid is now slightly misshapen.  Maker's mark is slightly rubbed but other hallmarks are clear and legible.
