Condition Report
All four salts display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. The interiors were likely once gilded but this is now very faded. Some surface dints and bumps. A couple of the stems are slightly compressed so that there are creases in the metal around the foot. The hallmarks appear rubbed but mainly legible with the exception of the date letter, which appears cut off.
