Condition
**One foot of one cellar is bent slightly inward, creating a very slight wobble. Both cellars show extensive black salt discoloration and pitting on the interiors; one cellar has a 1/4" split at the join, with a small repair below it, presumably a result of this corrosion. No dents noted; some wear to the repousse details. Hallmarks good, though the maker's mark is worn on the left and top edges on both (probably wear in the original punch). Liners very good, with two or three negligible frits on the rims.
