The cut and beveled geometric decoration on the glass dispensers and the label of the jewelery shop located in Rome that sold it, still in business, allows us to date it between the 40s and 50s. This condiment set consists of a paired group of containers with silver plated racks including containers for pepper, salt or mustard and 2 cruets with stops for oil, vinegar and more. This vintage ménage is not only functional but also highly decorative, I love the cap of the pepper pot, the holes for the pepper are in the shape of stars instead of the classic and normal holes The cruets are all, albeit minimally, different from each other, even the faceted glass stoppers, as they are handcrafted from cut and embellished glass. All the glass dispenser are intact. The cruets are contained in a chiselled and perforated silver-plated metal basket which features a decorated fretwork balustrade. The basket shows slight signs of use and age, it shows parts where the silver coating is slightly worn and allows a glimpse of the golden metal underneath. See less
