Condition Report
Both salts display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Various deeper scratches and nicks are visible, also some slight surface dints. Impressions from the stem are visible to the interior of each and the copper is showing through on one of them. One of the bowls now sits at a slight angle so it has probably been knocked. The copper is showing through along some of the other edges and there is a slight knock to the foot rim on one of them. A little rubbed but the sunburst marks are still clear and legible.
