$110.00 Price for the pair.
A matched pair, each of these master salts measures 2 1/4" in diameter and stands 1 3/8" high, while the pair weigh 3.2 T. oz. combined.
They are English in origin and fully hallmarked for London, 1897-98, sterling, and WG/JL for William Gibson and John Langman (also operating as the Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co.).
Traditional in design, they are round, with heavily repoussed bodies, applied hatched rims, and stand on three lion's paw and shell legs.
Each piece has a reserve area which has never been monogrammed.
In very good condition, they sit evenly, remain round, are free of dents, bends, or surface wear, and have bright finishes. The interiors, which retain remnants of an original gold wash, show mottling and light surface scratches consistent with exposure to salt.
