The overall condition is very good. Both salts sit flat, no sign of any damage, no dings or dents just usual signs of age as to be expected. Hallmarks are a little worn as can be seen and the gilt wash to the interior has faded away with time/age
Salts like these are now quite rare as in recent times they have been converted into pin cushions ,fetching hundreds of pounds!
