An absolutely fantastic antique cruet set with beautifully preserved original cut crystal bottles. The carving is crisp and elegant. The proportions are beautifully balanced. And yes – it includes the rare cayenne pepper bottle with its pierced top, still present and intact. There are clearly visible maker’s marks on the stand. What I can say with confidence: it is an English silver-plated set from the early 20th century, solidly made and thoughtfully designed. The silver plate shows noticeable wear along the edges and on the upper handle, with warm brass tones coming through in places. This is honest age-related wear and consistent with its age. Structurally, it is strong and stable. The glass is in very good condition. No chips or cracks observed. The set has been carefully cleaned and gently polished where appropriate. The condition visible in the photographs is exactly as described – what you see is what you will receive. No hidden defects, no structural issues, no unpleasant surprises. The silver tray is not original to the set. It has been intentionally paired to complement the cruet and create a stronger visual presence. Together, they can function not only as serving ware but as a refined centrepiece for a dining table or kitchen island. The tray may also be used separately if preferred. Some pieces reveal everything. Some keep a small secret.

A rare antique Victorian ceramic egg cruet in the form of a basket with gilded enhancement. It was made by the Staffordshire potters Wiltshaw and Robinson under their swallow mark (early Carlton ware). It is raised on four dainty and decorated feet and finished with a carrying handle also with a gilded design. It is in very good condition for its age with the gilded decoration seemingly largely intact with just some very light rubbing here and there that can only be seen on close examination, as too is the very fine crazing which the piece possesses. There are no cracks, chips or any restoration to the piece. Displays beautifully, a rare and lovely Victorian item. Maker’s marks: please see image. Height: 13.5cm/5.3 to top of handle. 13.3×13.3cm/5.2×5.2. Egg cup height: 5.5cm/2.2. Egg cup diameter: 4.7cm/1.8.
