. Please note these are being sold with a pair of pepperettes which are en suite. Each fully marked underneath and stamped 'West and Son'. The covers of the pepperettes are each marked with Harp and date letter. There is some wear to the marks, though each is legible. There is some overall light surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. The wear is noticeable as a minor softening to the high points. There is some pitting inside the salt-cellars. The case is scuffed and the lining inside is worn. The blue glass liners are somewhat ill-fitting and likely to be associated.
