Estimate £400-500

The two small bases (ex-lids) have ingrained marks around the base which don't appear to want to come out using a silver polish. SEE WEBSITE FOR PHOTOGRAPH OF THESE MARKS. They appear to have once been the lids for the other two. The interior of both bases have several small dings/dents. Both sets of marks clear although visible rubbing to the maker's mark.
The larger pair have typically scratched bases and they both have a few minor dings/dents to the inside and one has a small dent to one corner. General overall condition is otherwise good. Both sets of marks clear.
