English(?) Victorian Cruet, perhaps Stevens & Williams?
« on: January 11, 2009, 06:08:50 PM »
Hi you all!

I have a customer who consigns things to us on occasion, based on her financial needs. I've kind of been waiting for her to let go of this piece, although I'm unsure of its origins. Would love some input, so I can do as well as possible for her.

Many thanks -

Kelli

Perhaps with the colors on this piece being less than subtle(ha) I should consider Italian instead of English?

or Bohemian. Stevens and Williams didn't always do subtle either. Italian seems unlikely to me

Thanks, Christine - I didn't think of Bohemian, but will start poking around. :)

I have seen a few of these, but none with a label. They remind me a lot of some cruets that Fratelli Toso made c. 1960. The form of the vessel and handle is the same. If I were betting, I would bet on Italian, with Fratelli Toso as a possible maker.

Anita, thank you so much. It's the first one of these that I've seen, glad to hear from someone who has seen others!
