Description

Victorian EAPG Vaseline Daisy and Button w Crossbars Catchup Cruet!
We will be listing many treasures that are extremely rare over the upcoming weeks from our own collection. This is a very special find that we discovered years ago.  This is a catsup cruet made by Richards and Hartley in 1885!  The pattern was originally named Mikado.  It has its original faceted vaseline stopper.  This pattern has never been reproduced.  If you collect this pattern this is a must have.  We have sold over 500 cruets in out time but never had another catsup cruet of any pattern.  This is truly a rare find and extremely hard to locate piece.  This is the only of these we have ever seen.  This is an outstanding addition to any collection.  Add some brilliant color and unique design to your collection with this magnificent piece.
The size is 3" wide and 8" tall.  There are no chips or cracks on the bottle, however the bottom edge of the stopper has some edge nicks and a small bruise on the bottom.  This in no way is visible unless looking directly at the stopper.  Make room on the Top Shelf for this one!
