This silver cruet set, created around 1760 by Thomas Williamson, features two glass bottles with cut-glass decoration, set in a silver stand. The stand is designed with pierced floral and scroll motifs, which accentuate the cut glass bottles. It has a pierced, openwork base supported by four claw feet. This cruet set exemplifies the refined aesthetic of 18th-century silver craftsmanship, showcasing both functional and decorative elements. It is a testament to the artistry of Thomas Williamson, whose work often reflected the Rococo style that was popular at the time.
