The bayonet, pull-off, lids are attractively pierced and are surmounted by eastern style finials. A full set of hallmarks are struck on the base of each pepper and are very clear indeed. Further marks are struck on the flange of each lid. One set is very clear indeed. The set on the other lid is clear but the maker's mark is rubbed.

His work was always innovative and he was thought to be the last individualist plateworker before the mass production of the Victorian era set in.
