Victorian Silver Cruet Set in Box

19th century
Description

A good quality sterling silver cruet set in its original fitted case. The set consists of two large salt dishes with twin handles and a mustard pot, each with their original blue glass liners. Each piece has lovely pierced detailing around a shield cartouche and the mustard has a hinged lid. The set comes with 3 spoons which I don't believe are original but suit the set well and are all sterling silver dating from 1898 and 1901.

The three main pieces are fully hallmarked for Birmingham, 1897/1898 and the makers J.R.Ltd. The total weight of silver is approximately 159g.

Every piece is in very good condition. There are some minor signs of age and use and there are some faint surface marks and a few light scratches and small dinks but nothing detrimental. The mustard pot hinge is slightly loose but it opens well. They have been lightly cleaned and polished and are ready for use.

The case is good quality with a silk lid lining and a fitted velvet base. The outer of the case is not without some minor signs of age and use and the locking catch does not work but overall it displays well.

Approximate Measurements :

Box : 12 1/2" (32cm) x 4" (10cm)

Salt : 4" (10cm) long x 1 1/2" (4cm) high

Mustard : 3 1/2" (9cm) long

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

FAQs

Victorian silver cruet and condiment sets gained popularity during the nineteenth century as formal dining customs expanded. Designed to hold table condiments such as salt, pepper, and mustard, these sets reflected changing dining etiquette and were frequently presented in fitted presentation boxes for formal storage and display.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, often lined with blue glass inserts to protect the metal from chemical reactions with salt or acid. The presentation boxes were typically constructed from wood lined with silk, velvet, or satin and wrapped in leather or faux leather.

Authentic British pieces bear hallmarks stamped directly into the metal, indicating the silver purity, assay office location, makers mark, and date letter corresponding to the Victorian era (18371901). Look for clear hallmark impressions and precise hand-finished details in the pierced decoration or engraving.

An antique cased silver set can be displayed open on a dining sideboard, drinks trolley, or within a glass display cabinet to showcase the interior lining and craftsmanship. Alternatively, individual pieces can be integrated into contemporary table settings to add contrast and texture.

Clean silver components using a specialized silver polishing cloth or mild silver foam, avoiding abrasive materials that can strip detailing or silver plating. Ensure glass or fabric elements are kept dry, and store the set inside its original fitted box to prevent tarnishing and oxidisation over time.
