A CHARMING REGENCY CRUET SET
REF: FA1543
A charming glass cruet set comprising six hand-blown condiment bottles housed in their original metal stand. Each bottle is elegantly shaped with a flared neck and fitted with a slice cut stopper, while the bodies are delicately engraved with inscriptions identifying their contents - LEMON, KETCHUP, WALNUT, SOY, ANCHOVY, and KYAN.
The graceful symmetry of the bottles, paired with the simple yet sturdy design of the frame, captures the refined practicality of the English dining table. Such sets were both decorative and functional, serving as essential accompaniments to formal meals.
