VICTORIAN PAIR Solid Silver ORNATE SALTS 1895 Hallmarked Sterling Cranberry NR

1+ troy oz. - Stunning - CRANBERRY Glass Liners - Rare

These are a lovely pair of VICTORIAN solid sterling silver salts that was made in Birmingham, England in 1895, by the famous Victorian silversmith, William Aitken at his Vyse Street workshops. These stunning salts are cauldron shaped, have beautifully decorated sides and edges and are raised three ball feet. They are NOT engraved to the cartouches. The salts measure 2 1/8" in diameter and stand 1 1/4" high. They are fitted with CRANBERRYglass liners. Each salt weighs17.6 grams - making a total ofalmost 1 1/4troy oz.

The salts are in pretty good condition withjust the usual surface scratching, NO dents and just a few dings between the pair, and little compression to the feet - SUPER - but they do need a better clean than I have had time to give them and have a little edge splitting. Both of the Cranberry glass liners are in excellent condition, probably original and with NO chips, cracks or repairs. Each of the salts is hallmarked with W.A, lion passant (sterling silver assay mark),three sheaves, M showing that each salt was hallmarked in Chester in 1895.I have shown the hallmarks so that you can make up your own mind.
