Condition Report
Each piece displays general wear, surface marks and scratches and some tarnishing. The open salt appears to be in fairly good condition, there are some minor nicks/dints in the metal and remnants of polish in some areas. Hallmarks are clear and legible, maker's mark is partly cut off but still legible. The part gadrooned mustard pot is generally okay although the hinged lid is a little loose, hallmarks are partly distorted but still legible. The plain mustard pot is liner deficient, hallmarks are legible. There is more damage to the salt and pepper pots with some larger dints and creases to the metal. There are also green spots of tarnishing to the cover of the salt pot. Some distortion to hallmarks but still legible.
