A great Art Nouveau style silver salt cellar and pepperette set with original salt spoon and blue glass liners. Both pieces have fretwork sides allowing the blue glass liners to be visible and this looks great. The salt cellar has four ball and claw feet and is oval in shape. The matching spoon has a scallop decoration to the bowl. The pepperette has a pull off lid allowing for easy re-filling. These have a good weight to them as they are a good gauge of silver. Fully hallmarked to the base of each piece and the back of the spoon, each hallmark contains the optional Jubilee hallmark used in 1977 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee. A great set that looks great when used but would look equally nice displayed.

Used excellent. There isn’t any damage at all. There are some very light and very minor tarnished marks due to age and light use but these are really minimal. Glass is undamaged with no chips. Hallmarks are clear on cellar and peperette but rubbed on the spoon, although these are still legible. The spoon has heavier tarnishing marks on the bowl.
