A Victorian silver shaped-round egg cruet with four egg cups.

A Victorian silver shaped-round egg cruet with four egg cups. The stand with a bead and leaf chased border on four pierced volute-scroll feet and engraved with foliate-script initials, the central bead and scroll handle currently detached and requires a repair, the maker's marks obscured though the egg cups probably by the Barnards, London 1868, 521g (16 3/4 ozs); together with a set of four associated fiddle, thread and shell egg spoons with conforming initials, mark of G W Adams, London 1870, 106g (a little under 3 1/2 ozs)

Condition Report:
The handle no longer attraches to the base. Generally the metal is tarnished, there are small dents to the cups and the gilding is rubbed inside.
