The makers' mark standa for Edward Barnard (I) and his three sons. The Barnards always produced silver items of a very high standard and a very generous weight. This is reflected in the quality of these salts. When not used for salt, these salts are large enough to be used for bon-bons etc. or grapes or cherries, or since they are gilt inside, for small flowers. The fact that the borders are gilt is a great plus since salt so often spills over onto the border and corrodes the silver.
