Petruzzi e Branca - Cruet set - .800 silver

Refined and elegant oil and vinegar table set (cruet set) in fine Empire style, entirely handmade in Italy in the mid-20th century.
The oval stand, with supporting feet and a central ring handle, is made entirely of solid 800 silver. The piece bears its original period hallmarks stamped on the base:
• The metal purity mark “800” inside an oval.
• The prestigious historic “1 BS” mark inside an elongated lozenge, identifying the firm Petruzzi & Branca as the first official silversmith in the province of Brescia.
• The Crown symbol, an iconic and exclusive hallmark of the historic Brescia-based manufacturer.
The hallmark configuration (lozenge without a star and without the fasces) dates the piece precisely to between 1944 and 1968 (estimated production in the 1940s/1950s).
The set is completed by two beautiful matching hand-cut Bohemian crystal bottles with geometric decorations, complete with their original faceted diamond-point stoppers.
Condition: The lot is in excellent overall condition for its age. The crystal bottles and their stoppers are completely intact, with no chips or cracks (a very rare condition for these objects). The silver stand has a beautiful surface mirror shine and natural age-related oxidation localized inside the bottle wells on the base (as shown in the photos), confirming its authenticity and original patina.

Weight of the silver stand only: 340 grams (excluding the crystal bottles).

A detail of great collectible value: one of the two bottles still retains its original period paper label certifying the high quality of the glass: “Echt Bleikristall - Handgeschliffen” (Genuine lead crystal, hand-cut).
