Presented is an impressive silver and cut glass cruet set with stand. This
piece dates to late 1800s or early 1900s, and is of continental European origin,
likely German or Italian. The stand is very ornate, with a handle in the form of
a putti playing with a snake and scenes of cherubs playing instruments around
the side of each bottle holder. On each side of the stand is a gilded scallop
shell form drip catcher, beneath a round slot to hold the stoppers of the cruets
while they're in use, very convenient. These drip catchers are removable for
ease of cleaning. The stand is on four claw and ball form feet, with fancy shell
decorations above. The bottles themselves are beautifully cut, with sparkling
faceted stoppers. The majority of the cruet stand is silver, only the plate on
the underside is steel, with old hand cut bolt construction.


The silver is tested and guaranteed at least 800 purity.


This cruet set is in good overall condition. One of the glass bottles has a
crack, but is not in any danger of coming apart and is probably even still
useable. One of the cherubs is missing his flute. Both cherubs have repairs to
one of their arms, which are quite hard to notice. There are no other
issues.


The stand is about 14 1/4 inches tall at the highest point.


The total weight, not including the glass bottles, is 1041 grams or 36.7
regular ounces. A small amount of this weight is in the steel plate of the base,
the majority is silver.
