Condition
**In generally good condition. One cellar has a slight compression dent where the foot meets the body, resulting in a slight "wobble"; the same salt has a few dings and tiny dents on the fluting/gadrooning on one side. Otherwise no issues noted beyond the expected light surface bumps and scuffs consistent with age. A handsome set.
