Antique Meridian Silver Plate Co. 6-Piece Dinner Cruet/Caster Set
Cruet/caster sets were very popular for formal dining in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many silver companies made a wide variety of sets in sterling silver, plated silver, and sometimes gold plated. The number of cruet/caster bottles also varied. Offered here is a 5-bottle and stand (6 pieces total) cruet/caster set. It was made by the Meridian Silver Plate Co. And is marked Meridian Silver Plate Co. 0346 inside the stand. There are 5 bottles. One oil and one vinegar bottle with stoppers, two bottles with sliver plated tops probably for salt and pepper, and one other condiment bottle with a silver plated top. The total height measures about 15 ½ but it can be disassembled into 3 sections. The silver plate shows significant wear and some loss in various places, including the 3 bottles with silver-plated tops (see pictures). The glass bottles each have a leaf and vine cutting and are all in nice condition, one cruet bottle has a small chip near the top (see picture). Despite the many years of wear, this dinner cruet/caster set is very nice and a great centerpiece.
