Here's another piece from the same catalogue - a five piece revolving dinner cruet, No.7760.  Just a small lid missing from one of its two pots.

very nice Anne, and probably not that common - is the correct screw top plastic or glass?  -  I will keep an eye out for a replacement for you.

Here are one or two of my better pieces.

I've added an image for interest of all the bits and pieces in the set.  The lid is missing from the pot shown at the front. The screw on lid to what looks like a pepper pot is glass, so I presume that the missing lid to the pot is glass also. I just wonder if the smaller pot is an open salt as they also show salt spoons (No.4794). 

I only discovered that a lid was missing (and the actual maker) from my copy of  Pressed Flint Glass by Raymond Notley, where two pages from Clayton Mayer's catalogue is shown (pp.26-27), but I don't think I'll be able to upload an image because of copywrite?

I think I might have missed the lid as the set was in a box of assorted glass which included other odd pieces of Jacobean ware, but hopefully the seller will be there again tomorrow   He did have a very nice vinegar bottle (No.7682) which I should have nabbed.  Its the story of my life
