Add Victorian ingenuity to your breakfast table or bar cart with this brilliant antique automated condiment pot. Dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, this piece features a silver-plated frame holding a heavy, beautifully wheel-cut crystal glass jar insert adorned with geometric starburst and deep faceted diamond motifs.
The standout element is its fully operational mechanical "swing-handle" mechanism. Tilting the tall, elegant overhead handle backward automatically raises the dome-shaped lid, allowing seamless, single-handed access to the contents. The piece is complete with its custom-fitted silver serving spoon which sits neatly in the designated rim notch. An exceptional piece of historical engineering and dining etiquette, perfect for holding jam, honey, mustard, or coarse sugar.

Shown on the photo. The silver plating exhibits a gorgeous aged tarnish and patina with light surface wear, scuffs, and minor oxidation spots consistent with a century of handling. Spoon is included. less
