This pair of salts was made in 1733 and they are of superb quality. I'm not sure of the maker however; the visible letters are IS but there might be another letter above them or it might just be an irregular cartouche.

Hi Miles
http://m1.freeshare.us/view/?165fs54953.jpg
This is James Smith 1st (Grimwades 1643) have a look at the link photo, the S looks very similar and could the mark above be the crown or pellet ? (cant make out what it is)
regards
Nigel

That mark looks bang on Nigel, but is it James Smith or James Stone (1649)?
They look almost identical. I think the mark is just an asterisk.

lt is very difficult to distinguish between the two in Grimwades, cannot be sure
