Little vinegarettes
« on: November 23, 2009, 01:42:48 PM »
Hello all, Is it possible someone could kindly advise a rough age for these little what I think are little vinegarettes.  They don't have any numbers on the bases or stoppers.  Lots of wear on the stoppers and on the inside of the bottles where the stoppers sit.  The stoppers have a flat edge the rest curved.  Broken pontils.  One stands 12cm tall with stopper the other 14cm.  One has a couple of dimples in the body, cannot feel but can see.
Many thanks

I shall confess why I called them vinegarettes Keith, I keep forgetting English words and that was the closest I could think of  :24:

I think they could have too Keith but they do look like they should be on a nicely laid table.  I think they are nice quality items and are definately going to be put away for when I am gone - ooooo how morbid  :24: but you know what I mean.
