One Good Turn

What's It Wednesday #48
Hi everyone and welcome to another What's It Wednesday. I'm sorry for being MIA but I've been dealing with some major computer issues. But with that behind me, I'm excited for the holiday season. Today I'm sharing one of my latest finds, a seven piece cruet set. One look and I was in love with the frilly ornateness of it.
 
Cruet sets were a Victorian invention that held the condiment of the day. The silver topped ones held salt and pepper, and the center is a mustard pot.
 
The crystal stoppered bottles held oils and vinegars.
 
My favorite is the ornate detailing and draping of the silver.
 
But there's another secret, it turns like a Lazy Susan! I'd never seen one like that before. For sixty bucks, I think I got a steal!
 
Thanks for stopping by and happy shopping!
Hugs,
Patti

    Hi Patti,

    I can see why this beautiful set captured your heart...and how lucky to find all of the bottles in tact...I don't think I have ever met a cruet set I didn't like but this one is very special. Hope your computer problems are behind you and that you and your family enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving.
