A George III silver mounted sugar basket with blue glass liner, of pail form, pierced and...

All three pieces display general wear, surface marks and scratches commensurate with their age and use. Some minor dints. The handle on the pail is quite loose. Some discolouration of the metal around the seam line of the pail, possible repair? Some rubbing and flattening to the applied and raised decoration, especially the goblin masks. Engraved crest also a little worn. Hallmarks are partly distorted. On the mustard pot, the pin is missing from the hinge so that the lid comes off completely. Wear and rubbing to decoration and slight knocks to foot rim. Small break in the metal to one of the oval panels. Hallmarks to the main body are very worn. The basket appears in good overall condition and the hallmarks clear and legible. The glass liners all appear in good condition and are probably replacements.
