📝History facts:

Pickle castors are glass jars fitted in an elaborately designed silver-plated frame and matching silver-plated lid. They were used to serve pickles, pickled vegetables and fruits, sugar cubes, and various other delicious delicacies.

It was considered the height of elegant dining to have a pickle castor on the table — or two, if a family was especially wealthy.

Not only did pickle castors convey status, they also showed off the power to have servants, as household kitchen staff were frequently responsible for preparing and preserving the jar's contents, then using it to display the fruits of their labor.


* This castor is in great antique condition. Presents splendidly, enhanced by nicely aged patinated silver-plate with scattered spots of oxidation and tarnish that adds to the antique character and sophisticated charm.
