Crystal pickle set with two lidded jars – cut crystal, late 19th – early 20th century
Antique crystal pickle set with two lidded jars and facet-cut central column
An elegant crystal pickle set, also known as a preserve set or double jam stand, in heavy cut crystal. Two lidded jars with vertical facets and broad cut bands sit in an open stand with two rings. Between them rises a facet-cut central column with an obelisk-shaped top on an octagonal foot. Each lid has a facet-cut knob. A set like this was once placed on the table for pickles, gherkins, preserves or compote.
Why we chose this piece
The crystal catches the light beautifully and the crisp, clear lines make the set timeless. A piece you can simply use for olives, capers, jam or bonbons.
