An Assortment of Antique Blown and Cut Glass Condiment Bottles and Casters - An assortment of antique blown and cut glass tableware, including three cruets with stoppers, four casters with metal caps, and one open condiment vessel.

The four casters are fitted with perforated metal caps for dispensing salt or pepper. The open condiment vessel features a black metal collar.
