Antique Silver Egg Cruets
First produced in sterling silver during the 18th Century, silver egg cruets quickly became popular table top items, with production increasing during the Victorian period in line with the increased production and marketing of eggs. Used on the table to serve typically between 2-6 boiled eggs, egg cruets can be found with the original egg spoons, or with salt cellars attached as eggs were often served sprinkled with salt. Early, larger sets, and novelty examples are highly sought after amongst both collectors, and egg lovers.
