€445.00
This large egg cruet set is offered to you in magnificent condition.
Made in the 1880s by Bourne and O'Neill in Birmingham, this set for six people is made in silver plate and wood. Each cup has been hand crafted with the wood veneer individually moulded around each of the silver plate cups within.
The six cups with their accompanying spoons sit proudly on an imposing stand that is supported with six balled feet. A striking handle stands tall in the centre of the set.
A wonderful example of the craftsmanship that came from this short but special partnership.
