Condition Report
All three pieces display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Quite heavy tarnishing is visible and they would all benefit from a clean and polish. On the silver salt, there is considerable loss of surface detail and some flattening to the embossed decoration and also to the beaded rim. Heavy contact marks to the interior. The hallmarks appear rubbed but legible. Wear to the plating on the other two items, especially visible along edges of the caster. Some small dints/bumps.
