FAQs

An egg cruet is a specialised tabletop stand designed to hold multiple egg cups and sometimes spoons or salt cellars, which gained immense popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian eras for formal breakfast service.

These sets are traditionally crafted from sterling silver or silver plate over a base metal such as copper or Britannia metal, often featuring techniques like piercing, bead edging, and gilt interiors known as wash gilding.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining hallmarks or makers marks stamped on the base or cups, checking for genuine silver wear patterns, and assessing traditional manufacturing methods like hand-soldering and cast mounts.

An egg cruet can be utilised as a striking centrepiece on a dining table, displayed within a glass-fronted cabinet, or repurposed as a unique holder for small botanical stems or trinkets.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive, high-quality silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the natural oxidisation and historic patina.
