This is a stylish Vintage Silver Plate Egg Cruet. The cruet has four round egg cups on an octagonal stand with scroll feet at each corner and a keyhole shaped handle.

The set is made in Birmingham by the firm A.L. Davenport as part of their Pelican Plate range and dates to around the 1930s to 1950s. The firm was founded in the 1920s by James Davenport who used his father's initials for the company name. In 1932 they purchased the long established Birmingham firm T. Wilkinson & Sons and acquired the rights to their Pelican Plate trademark. James was succeeded by his son Eric Davenport and the firm finally ceased trading in 1971.

Condition is good, with no dings or dents and just a small amount of plate wear inside a couple of the cups. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The cruet is 11.5cm / 4.5ins by 10.5cm / 4.1ins and stands 11.5cm / 4.5ins high. It weighs 373g / 13.1oz.

Each egg cup has the ALD logo for A.L. Davenport alongside EPNS for silver plate. The underside of the base is marked Pelican Plate with the Pelican logo, EPNS for silver plate, Made In England and the toothed wheel logo of A.L. Davenport.
