Condition Report
Both sauce boats display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing to some areas and both would benefit from a clean and polish. Numerous deeper scratches and nicks are visible. Both also display some surface dints and bumps, and especially one large dent to the interior base of one of the sauce boats, which has caused the metal to crease. Maker's marks are partly distorted. Other hallmarks are rubbed but still legible.
