Condition Report
Both bottles display some general wear, surface marks and scratches in keeping with their age and use. The cranberry bottle appears in fairly good overall condition, with some minor nibbles to the glass. The silver lid is a little tarnished and was likely once gilded, would benefit from a clean and polish. Hallmarks clear and legible, maker's mark a little worn around one edge. The blue glass also displays some nibbles and minor chips and there is a crack running centrally around the body. Also some dints to embossed mounts and a few small holes. All missing stoppers.
