The cinquefoil frame rests gracefully on five shell feet, supporting a baluster stem with a scroll handle and an applied rococo cartouche at the front. The cruet holds two cut-glass bottles for oil and vinegar and three spiral-chased silver casters for salt, pepper and mustard, each fitted with silver covers engraved with a heraldic coat-of-arms. The design is thoroughly Rococo, with its elegant scrolls, asymmetrical curves and intricate detailing throughout the frame, baluster stem and casters.
Samuel Wood, active in London during the mid-18th century, was known for his exceptional mastery of silverwork. His work on Warwick-style cruets, inspired by the original 1715 example by Anthony Nelme for the 1st Earl of Warwick, exemplifies the continuation and evolution of this celebrated English form.
