A George II/III silver open salt of plain cauldron shape, with replacement blue glass liner and...

All five salts in the lot display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. The Georgian salt displays heavier tarnishing and wear including slight surface dints and bumps. The rim was likely once beaded but this is now very worn and a couple of small cracks in the metal are visible. The hallmarks are partly obscured, the lion passant and leopard's head crowned and part of a maker's mark are just visible. The smaller floral embossed salt has black spots to the inside and the larger one displays heavier scuffs and scratches to the inside. Some slight rubbing but the hallmarks on the four Victorian salts are mainly clear and legible.
