About This Project

Dutch silver cruet set à double usage

Johannes La (le) Blanck

Rotterdam, 1786

Including four cut-glass bottles and stoppers

1,170 grams;  35 cm wide

 

Fortunately, this cruet set still has its detachable caster, which is placed on top of the column in the middel of the basket, serving also as ornamentation.

 

À double usage means that this cruet set can be used as a bread basket, after removing the entire interior.
