There is a small amount of tarnish on Salt Shaker screw top, see photo. It will probably clean up with some elbow grease.
The grinder works great I tested it before I emptied it. I did test the salt shaker too, as it emptied itself as I drove home.. This is a beautiful set.
I have some arthritis in my thumbs and the grinder handle is very comfortable to use. With all my pieces when I bring them home, I hand wash them. I do this because I don't believe you can truly say there is "no crazing" without getting them wet. So, when I say there are no chips, cracks, crazing or repairs, I have done my due diligence to discover any defects.
