| INDEX | ALL SILVER |
| DESCRIPTION | Good and useful pair of antique English Georgian pierced solid sterling silver oval salts with bead decorated top rims, nice crest engraved to the cartouche, ball and claw feet and perfect blue glass liners. The liners are modern custom made replacements that would have been suitably expensive. I recommend spoons around 4" long to use with these salts. |
