Here is the first volume of an encyclopedia on cruets - those small decanters for oil or vinegar popular in the Victorian era. Topics covered range from Agate to Hazel Atlas. Types of cruets include Amberina, Anchor Hocking, Baccarat, Bohemian, Burmese, Cambridge, Carnival, chocolate glass, Crackle, Cranberry, Custard, cut glass, Depression glass, Dorflinger, Duncan and Miller, Fenton, Fostoria, and Greentown glass - just to mention a few! One chapter describes the variations in cruet shape, while another illustrates and identifies 82 stoppers. Cruets are listed by pattern name, manufacturer, color, size, and stopper and body type. The book is well illustrated with 260 cruets in spectacular color - and hundreds more in black and white!
