Gallia - Cruet set - Silverplated

Silver-plated table oil cruets with blown-glass bottles – Christofle, Gallia collection, circa 1955–1965

Elegant dining set consisting of a structure with an oval base and a central ring handle, made of silver, accompanied by two original blown-glass ampoules with stopper and handle, intended for oil and vinegar service.

The structure presents a sober and balanced silhouette, typical of mid-20th-century Italian production, with a beaded edge on the tray, a turned central column, and shaped feet. The ampoules, perfectly housed in the designated circular supports, are consistent in form, material and period.
