Description

A wonderful Victorian Cruet, made by the top-notch silversmith, Elkington & Co.

The heavy and solid stand is made from silver plate, with a full mark on the underside for Elkington; being Elkington it allows us to date the frame to 1866.

The tops of the mustard pot and pepper pot are made from sterling silver, again with the makers initials for Elkington and the highly sought-after Queen Victoria's head duty mark. The date letter, R dates the sterling fittings also to 1866, all correct fitting perfectly with the stand. I managed to find a large mustard spoon in silver plate that works well with the set.

The cut crystal bottles are all in perfect condition. A lovely complete set in excellent condition. The base measuring 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" and standing 10" tall to top of handle.
