Featured are wonderful EAPG Castor Bottles.
- EAPG stands for Early American Pattern Glass which dates from 1850 until 1914.
- EAPG is clear or colored pressed glass made in tableware or glassware matched sets.
- Every Victorian table had a castor set in the middle to hold salt and pepper shakers, oil and vinegar cruets and usually a container for mustard.
- Sometimes a bottle was filled with ‘castor’ sugar. This was made by pounding a sugar loaf with a mortar and pestle.
- Color: This EAPG Castor Bottles is crystal glass.
- Design: 1 row of dimples around the bottom and the middle, 2 rows of dimples around the neck and 2 rows of fern etching
- Metal castor sets turned like a lazy Susan and had circular holes for the bottle to sit in. This was convenient for everyone sitting at the table to access the condiments.
