A Duchess of Sutherland Cripples Guild pair of silver salts

A really good pair of large Duchess of Sutherland Cripples Guild (DSCG) silver salt dishes.  In excellent condition and dating to 1909, they are very nice “in the hand”.  In the 1910 DSCG catalogue these are described as being from a salt cellar from the William and Mary period in the Duchess of Sutherland’s own collection.  Priced in sterling silver at 2 pounds 10 shillings (50p) each.  See images. I am grateful to Hammer and Hand Antiques for this information.

I have had one pair of these before and these are slightly larger and heavier than those. These salts can also be used as excellent candlesticks!
