Mini Story or Hook

A wonderfully unusual piece of vintage tableware, this novelty cruet set takes the form of a streamlined speedboat, complete with ribbed foredeck and two removable salt and pepper shakers cleverly incorporated into the cabin.

The sleek lines and geometric detailing give the piece a distinctly Art Deco / Machine Age character, reflecting the fascination with speed, travel and modern design that influenced decorative objects during the early-to-mid 20th century.

At only around 11 cm long, it is a charming little display piece with plenty of personality – ideal for a collector of vintage cruets, nautical memorabilia, Art Deco objects or novelty tableware.
