Condition Report
The salts display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with age and use. There are patches of discolouration to the interior of both, particularly one, and small patches to the exterior surrounding the initial. The hallmarks are clear and legible but the maker's mark is slightly rubbed on both. The pepper is heavily dented, particularly to the corners where it has split slightly and the lid. The hallmarks are legible but the maker's mark is indistinct.
