Antique Silver Plated Egg Cruet by Sanders & Blackband, Birmingham, C.1920s–30s

1900 - 1920
Description

An attractive and complete silver-plated egg cruet by Sanders & Blackband of Birmingham, dating to the 1920s–30s. The set comprises an elegant boat-shaped tray, four removable egg cups and four original matching spoons.

The cups are decorated with fine engraved bands and beaded rims, with further beaded detail around their bases. They sit securely on pegs in the tray, and the spoons are held in purpose-made slots in the base. The gilt-washed interiors provide a warm contrast to the silver plate. Each spoon has a twisted stem and a finely modelled thistle-bud terminal.

A well-designed, useful piece of tableware with a particularly appealing level of detail.

Measurements: Stand approx. 20 × 10 cm, 17 cm high; egg cups 7 cm high; spoons 11.5 cm long.

Mark: S&B A1

Condition: Excellent, with no dents, cracks or defects. The original plating remains, with minimal signs of use.
