A Victorian English silver cruet with all original seven crystal bottles in fine order
Cruets like this date from an era when food was served fairly bland and each diner would add his or her spice -chili oils, nutmeg , salt and pepper and mustard., vinaigrette
This set has fine chased detail decorating the carousel with two reserves one of which has been engraved with cursive letters FTC. The cruet stands on four cast feet.
The bottles with silver collars have the same maker and date as the carousel.
Amazing to find the cruet in such good order
Every year as the Lunar New Year approaches I try
