<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 4438426, member: 111"]Other than being in desperate need of polishing, there is nothing wrong with their looks, they're quite lovely, and unlikely they ever had glass liners. Not that liners don't go missing, but it was very common for both solid silver and silverplate salts to be produced for use without a liner - the interiors were usually gilt, but not always, and it was suggested in housekeeping guides that salt cellars be emptied before putting away (the notes on this particular salt mention the interior was 'gold-washed').[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
