Condition Report
Both salts display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. Tarnishing is visible and they would both benefit from a clean and polish. The gilded interiors are quite worn, faded or discoloured to some areas. Some minor surface dints. There is a knock to the ball foot on one of the salts and it is now leaning inwards. The hallmarks are clear and legible.
