More Information

Cruet: Central pillar is loose, making the structure slightly wobbly when picked up. On a flat surface, the carousel is slightly wobbly, but the base is stable. Handle is secure. No cracks or losses to the stand.

There is a large split to the cover of the smallest caster, and the beginnings of splits in a couple of the other pieces. There are several, very large fractures and losses to the bases. There are small chips and nibbles to the high points and facet edges of the cut glass. No large cracks or breakages to the glass bodies which render it unusable.
