Question
I am enquiring about the value of a pair of such objects whose condition is good. I know you can only give a general estimation wiithout seeing the items.

Also a pair of Georgian Cut Crystal Salt Dishes.
many thanks

Impossible to say, as 'Georgian' spans a period from 1714 to 1830! If early Georgian, fine condition and of a rare type (and authentic), then possibly four figures. If late Georgian, of the common types produced in the 19th century, and in poor condition, then a few dollars.

If a dealer has told you they are 'Georgian', then they are probably late.
