Item: Salt Pots (set of four) Description: Cauldron form on three hoof feet with gadroon rims and gilt interiors Hallmark: London 1752 by J Wood Dimensions: 2.5" (62mm) diameter x 1.5" (38mm) high; 212 grams (6.8 tr. oz.) weight Comments: It is rare to find a set of four 18th Century salt pots in such fine condition. Each salt pot is a good size with a gilt (gold-wash) interior to protect the silver from the corrosive effects of salt. The hallmarks are mostly legible, which is unusual in itself as they are prone to wear. The maker's of this set were the Wood family of silversmiths that were 18th Century specialists in the production of top quality casters and salts. The underside of each foot bears an initial of the original owner - the three initials represent the forenames and surname of man and wife, usually representing a wedding gift. Price: SOLD Ref.
