Silver Cruet Set 3 Piece Hallmarks Birmingham 1947 By Joseph Gloster Ltd offered for sale by silver2treasure.

This is a good Solid Silver 3 Piece Cruet Set. Each item has applied decorative rims and spreading circular bases. This is a good sized set and the salt and mustard come complete with their blue glass liners but I would say that one is not the original although it is a good fit.

Assay Office: BIRMINGHAM

Date: 1947

Makers Marks: J.G Ltd (Joseph Gloster Ltd)

Dimensions: The salt just over 1.5 inches tall, the top diameter is 2 inches in diameter and the diameter of the base is 1.5 inches. The mustard is 2.5 inches tall and the other dimensions are the same as the salt. The pepper is 3.25 inches tall, 1.5 inches wide at its widest and the diameter of the base is 1.25 inches. The total weight of all the items is 156g (without the glass liners)

Condition: Overall it is in good condition, but there are a couple of very very minor pin prick dings but these are very minor. There is a very shallow crease to the lid of the mustard but again this is minor and really noticed on close inspection. When the liner is taken out of the salt there is some slight discolouration to the inside but again this is minor and obviously not noticed when the liner is in place. As with all metal items there is some slight surface scratching

Remarks: A good solid silver good sized 2 piece cruet that would look impressive on any table.
