This pair of cruet dishes were made at the Catcliffe glassworks in the late 19th century. They are made in clear glass with fluted decoration on the sides and base. Cruet dishes are containers used at the table. This pair would make a fine addition to a Victorian table.
These dishes are dated to around 1870. They were probably made by Henry Blunn's company. They were given to Weston Park Museum in the 1960s.
