label: Description
content: Design for a metal oil, and probably vinegar, dispenser. The two cruets are rendered with high gloss and have thinned necks and open mouths. They are placed within a richly ornamented stand with feet. Between the two cruets, an obelisk ornamented with a guilloche of laurel wreaths stands atop the stand on orbs. The stand itself features ornamentation of bead course, scrolling acanthus leaves, fluting with decorated channels, and bound leaves. The center of the base has a mascaron with rays behind in within a rondel, surrounded by two horns of plenty with flowers. The plate is signed but not numbered.
