Antique European Cut-Glass Cruet Set on Ornate Brass Stand

A breathtaking antique cruet set, featuring two heavy cut-glass vessels resting in an ornate brass caddy with exquisite detailing from top to base. Each bottle is richly patterned with deep, sparkling cuts and finished with its original faceted stopper — a level of craftsmanship that instantly elevates any table, bar, or display cabinet.

The brass stand is a work of art itself: twisted rope rims encircle each bottle, while the base features classical edging and petite claw-inspired feet. At center rises an elegant handle crowned with a decorative wreath — both sculptural and functional, making the piece easy to carry from kitchen to dining room.

Traditionally used for oil and vinegar, these sets often served as the jewel of the table in European households. Today, they make stunning barware, serveware, or simply a luxurious styling object that brings old-world beauty into a modern home.
