Condition Report
All the pieces display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. General dints and bumps. The decoration on the Georgian salt is very rubbed and worn and the hallmarks partly distorted. Evidence of gilding to interior. Solder repair to the short stem of one of the pepper pots. The circular rims of the miniature trophies are quite misshapen. Some rubbing and wear to hallmarks but mostly legible.
