Condition
Good antique condition with tarnish, oxidation, scratches, polishing wear and scattered silverplate wear consistent with age. Glass appears intact in the supplied photographs with no major cracks visible. Tongs and lid are present. Review photographs for minor glass edge wear and surface condition.
Completeness is a major advantage here. The original style stand, cut glass insert, lid and serving tongs create a much stronger collectible presentation than an incomplete pickle castor.
