This lovely cruet set would look right at home on any table
today, just as it did onboard an English vessel c. 1875! <P>
Tables in a 19th c. sailors' mess hall had holes for the four knob
feet to fit into, so the oil & vinegar would not go flying during
rough seas. The handblown bottles are very nicely shaped, the
shape of the spout is especially elegant and well done. Each
one is etched with an anchor. <P>The holder has slightly less
silver than sterling; there
is some tarnishing on the stand. As one might expect because of
the age and use, the original corks do not survive. They can be
easily replaced with new, clean corks. <P>So, splash away!!
