Antique English Cut Crystal 6 Piece Condiment Set Cruet Georgian Silver Plate

Antique silver plate condiment set including three stoppered cruets, a salt shaker, a pepper shaker, and a jam or mustard jar with spoon. Upon first glance, I thought all of the pieces matched, but upon closer inspection, I realized that one cruet, the jam jar, and one shaker are the same, and that the other shaker and two other cruets, while very similar, are actually pieces from a different set.

Furthermore, it appears that the shaker collar was put on with too much glue, causing the cap, which is also bent, to sit at an angle. This cap is also marked EPNS on the side. The differences between the two sets, while not immediately noticeable, are many.

First, three of them are hand blown, hand cut, leaded crystal with polished pontil bases and polished rims. The other three are hand mold blown glass, not leaded crystal, not cut, and without pontils, but do have polished bases and rims. Seams are visible on these pieces, and the glass is more yellow, not as clear as the crystal. The sizes are also slightly different. The mold blown set is 1-7/8 inches in diameter and the crystal set is 2 inches in diameter, and there are some slight variations in height.

Furthermore, the cruets (all three of them) have chips on the rim (pictured), and the size of the square patterns are slightly different. The silver plate holder is signed on the bottom EPNS and has an English silver plate maker's mark for Martin and Hall.

It measures 5 inches long. It was with the set when I acquired it, and it has a lovely twisted handle. Please review the photos for a complete description. All photographs are part of the description.

We are always obtaining interesting pieces and have a seemingly endless number of jewelry, antiques and collectibles. We do not know color or clarity, and do not know natural from heated, enhanced, or synthetic. We either rely upon marks for metal purity, or test for gold content. Whatever we say the metal purity is 14K, 18K, 925 Sterling, etc. We do not collect these items, and we are NOT experts in the field.

We appreciate any information you may have to assist us in identifying, or toward providing a more accurate description, but we do require some authority for the information. We provide a lot of photos, but please ask questions if you have them. We package in the highest grade materials including new, previously unused bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts.
