Condition Report
In fair to good condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The hinged lid of the AE Jones mustard pot is loose with some sideways movement, the open salt has a noticeable dent to the side, minor loss of definition to the planished surfaces, both further marked '577' to the bases, the condiment spoon is bent at the stem, the Ruskin pottery liner has a significant chip/loss to the rim and interior, stamped 'RUSKIN ENGLAND' to the bottom. The hinged lid of the 1920's mustard pot sits more to one side causing a gap between pieces, with a minor bump to the body. The pepper wobbles on its feet. The other condiment spoon appears unmarked. Majority of hallmarks clear and legible.
