Condition Report
All the salts display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. Several dints and bumps visible, also knocks to rims so that they are misshapen in places. The interiors were once likely gilded but the gilding is now quite worn and faded. Remnants of dirt to some. Slight impressions of the foot rims visible to the interior of the Georgian salts. The hallmarks are mainly legible, however the maker's marks on the Victorian salts are quite rubbed and distorted.
