Looks like a cruet bottle, maybe for vinegar, but I'm no good at guessing exactly what food was inside... The base part is shaped unusually, but it still strikes me as part of a cruet set.

Hey Dale,

Nice lot of funky stuff, sir.

Then there is this very shapely little bottle; clear glass, 5.5" high:

This one's part of a fancy Caster Set.

All the glass epergnes, I've ever seen, have had that trumpety, sockety aspect to them.

When I say "cruet", of course I meant "castor"... And when I say "I'm no good at guessing", I actually mean "I'm retarded"... [:mad:]

First of all it's "CASTER" and secondly a cruet is a caster, so you're correct if you use cruet set...[;)]
