Antique Pair Of Salts, Old Sheffield Plate, Silver On Copper, 19Th Century, Blue Glass Liners, Footed Georgian Tableware, Elegant

On offer is this lovely pair of antique salts. They’re in good condition overall, the remaining silver plate shines up well still - notable ware however around both exteriors exposing the base copper metal as well as light scuffs & scratches commensurate with age. Unfortunately both insides have extensively suffered over the years with extensive ware exposing the copper, blistering & peeling as well as verdigris / oxidation residue (please refer to images); there’s also a chip to the top edge of one of the glass liners but as shown all adding to the aged charm & character of the duo. Please note they both have a slight ‘wobble’ when on a flat surface They’re of traditional octagonal form, beautifully decorated with two repetitive pierced bands which display ever so well still especially against the blue glass. Both retain their original cobalt blue glass liners. Supported by four elegant feet. Unmarked for a maker, Sheffield produced (Old Sheffield Plate), circa early 19th century. Also present are two later silver plated (on nickel silver) salt / cruet spoons decorated with a bead pattern handle edge - one handle shows this on both sides & the other shows a shield back to the bowl. Different makers’ marks present, both Sheffield produced, circa late 19th century. The salts measure a charming 85mm by 52mm by 60mm in height including the feet - all outer measurements - & the spoons themselves measure 95mm & 100mm in length. A delightful pair of period antique salts which despite the condition issues raised are ready to be collected & enjoyed once again! The postage quote is for a Royal Mail tracked & insured service.
