Both pieces display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use.  Some heavier scratches, nicks and marks to some areas, also some general small dints and bumps.  The gilded interiors are still quite bright.  Rubbing and wear to the decoration and there is some loss of detail to certain areas.  Knocks to some of the feet and possible solder repairs.  Both wobble a little when in standing position. The hallmarks appear rubbed but legible.  Maker's mark is possibly that for Isaac Soloman or James Scott?
