english victorian toast rack and egg cup cruet c 1880

Description

A most unusual find, the egg and toast cruet is made for two with a pierced or reticulated egg cup sitting at each end of the rack, held in place with a pin fitting into a hold on the underside of each egg cup.
The divisions of the toast rack are formed in letters to spell out the word TOAST, further enhanced with some very decorative engraving.
The underside has a plethora of marks with a full hallmark for the English Silversmith, George Richmond Collis & Co. of Birmingham, this mark being used between 1869 and 1893, enabling us to date it fairly accurately. It is also impressed with the silvermith's full name and address G.R. Collis & Co. / 130 Regent St. London.
Excellent condition, measuring 7 1/4" x 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" tall.
