Vintage shopping Test #3



Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday

Are you ready to test your
{ vintage}
shopping skills again today?




I found this Victorian glass treasure in
France

♥



It has two separate pieces
A tall cylinder and a 3 cup holder
The 3 cup holder goes onto the cylinder and
spins around

I was told this held
3 popular spices
for the table

What do you think this is?

What were those 3 spices ?


If you guessed salt, pepper and mustard
You are right!!
Its a condiment holder

How did you do?

    I also have a 3-section dish. I didn't think to ever find out if there was a meaning behind it. It's nice to learn something new! http://cbsmallhome.blogspot.com/2011/03/indoor-signs-of-spring-birds.html#more

    Hi Pam
    I'm just popping in from Sarah's and love this vintage find of yours.. I think I'd be filling it with all those little fiddly jewellery pieces.. I saw something similar once in silver and didn't buy it.. silly me!!

    Have a lovely week.. ciao xxxx Julie

    How cool Pam! LOVE that piece. Although I doubt it would hold salt, pepper, and mustard at my house.

    Hugs,
    Judy
