Description

Literature: The earliest cruet frames contained 3 castors and 2 glass bottles and are not found before 1700. Even rarer at this early date is the two bottle oil and vinegar frame although this form is more frequently found on the continent. Later in the 18th century the number of bottles in a cruet increased to as many as 8 or 10 and these would have contained a variety of sauces of the period such as soy, ketchup, tarragon etc and they may have had little sauce labels to identify the contents.
