Both salts appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some heavier scratches and little nicks or pitting marks are visible, especially to the interior of both. Some slight dints. There is a small bumpy patch to the interior of one of the salts. Interiors were possibly once gilded but this is now very faded. Missing glass liners. The hallmarks and maker's mark are partly worn and distorted.
