Antique Castor Sets
Castor or cruet sets were used from the seventeenth century to the mid-20th century. Consisting of glass bottles and often silver plated, these sets were essential elements to the table setting. These sets held bottles or jars that contained condiments like salt, pepper, mustard, vinegar, sugar, and oil. Often, in wealthy households, these sets would be ornately designed and contained upwards of fifteen bottles.
