A set of six Victorian style silver-plated and cut glass cruet bottles in a stand. The collection consists of six matching clear glass bottles featuring a deep diamond and starburst cut pattern around the body. These are housed in a silver-plated wirework stand with a hexagonal base, which is raised on three ball feet. The stand is fitted with a central arched handle topped with a horizontal bar grip. The set includes two bottles with multi-faceted glass stoppers, two bottles with pierced metal shaker tops for salt and pepper, and one mustard pot with a hinged metal lid and a small matching spoon. No manufacturer marks, hallmarks, or retailer labels are visible on the metal stand or the bottle mounts.
Condition report:
The silver-plated stand and the metal lids of the bottles show significant surface tarnish and oxidation (photos 1, 2, and 4). There is visible wear to the silver plating on high-use areas, particularly the central handle (photo 2). The pierced metal shaker caps exhibit minor surface pitting (photo 4). The five cut glass bottles appear to be in generally good condition with no large chips or fractures visible in the images (photos 2 and 3), although minor fleabite chips may be present along the sharp edges of the facets. The set is complete with all five original matching bottles and their respective fittings.
