Description:
Here is one outstanding and rare cruets stand - all in sterling silver with blown and cut glass cruets. It is totally outrageous in design. The cruet stand starts out on a base supported by four paw feet with a lion’s head above each paw. The central stem is made up of a portrait bust of what I would call Lady Liberty and on top of her head there is a basket of fruit which forms the handle. Around the cruet holder you have three female portrait busts. It is hugely decorated with so much immense fine detail that it is hard to notice and point out every little fine point. The cruets as I mentioned are blown and cut glass and the stoppers are very unique where as when you turn the stopper side ways or look in the stopper from above you see a free blown tear drop in the interior – it is very nice. As far as the condition of the cruets both have a bit of cloudiness (sick) at the very very bottom but it is fairly faint. There is a heat or firing crack that is about 1/8” long in the neck of one of the cruets. The glass is colorless and spectacular. The cruet stand itself is a little bit soft but none the less very sturdy having substantial weight. The punch mark is that of a head of hypocrites and that is a golden silver standard for the very early 1800’s. Overall a fine, rare and unusual table item! The stand itself measures 8 ½” at widest x 12 ¾” at highest x 5 3/8” at deepest and the cruet is 9 ¼” high.
