Cruet set
CA ON00428 2021.13-2021.13.06 · Item · ca. 1813 - 1856
Part of André Wagner collection

The item is a 19th century cruet set. The centerpiece of the stand allows the user to rotate the four glass bottles. The bottles typically would have held vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. More elaborate examples could hold six or more bottles for additional condiments and spices. This set would have been a more affordable option, using pressed glass and pewter.

Three of the bottles are original to the set but one has been replaced.
