Condition Report
All the peppers display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. Two of the peppers display two or three surface dints, mainly to the bellied lower body. Further minor dints/bumps to the others. The lids all appear to fit well and are each struck with the lion passant. Some rubbing and slight distortion but the hallmarks and maker's marks to the main bodies are all still legible. The set is matching in design and maker to the preceding lot but they are not of the same date.
