Condition Report
Both salts display general wear, surface scratches, marks and tarnishing in keeping with the age and use. Surface dints and bumps and the moulded rims on both are a little uneven. The 1841 salt has several large and very deep scratches visible to the interior, also a slight impression from the foot. Interiors were likely once gilded but these have now faded a little. The hallmarks appear a little rubbed but legible, maker's mark partly worn but still legible.
