Pair Antique French .800 (nearly sterling) Silver Open Salts, Louis XV Style with Vermeil Interiors Flow blue one with crownsElegant antique French hallmarked . 800 (nearly sterling) silver 2pc open or master salt set with ornate Louis XV or rococo styling, vermeil interiors and interlaced "ST"(?) monograms!

The silversmith marks on the salts are for V. Boivin,
