Can anyone give me advice on this cruit set please. See attached bottom of cruit set.
All the cruit bottles are intact.
You have asked for advice on a cruet set but you have only posted a picture of the maker’s trade and pattern mark.
So my first bit of advice would be to post a picture of the cruet frame and bottles together with pertinent comments about condition.
Once in possession of that experts could probably talk to you about what you want to do with it, what it should be insured or sold for and even where.
As you will have observed from other comments about electro-plate, there is little intrinsic value to it. The bottles on the other hand can be very useful if they are in good condition.
The tendency has been for sterling silver cruet owners to sell the frame and “86” the bottles
So now sterling frames show up bereft of glassware.
CRWW
“86” is a phrase I have recently learned means “dump or get rid of”. Apparently using it in the excited state of America can get you charged criminally.
