Body shapes are adapted from maiolica ceramics and silver models; they range from the largest basins and ewers, chargers and plates, to the smallest cruets.
These included large centre piece items such as jardinires and float bowls as well as smaller useful items such as butter dishes, celery vases and cruet sets.
With the salt grinder -- visibly identical but with rust-proof fittings and less powerful grinders -- the salt-and-pepper cruet set, so popular for the past century, was all but dead.
