Here is a beautiful crystal glass cruet to hold the Water/Wine for the Catholic mass. There have been many generations of priests in my family and my Grandfather collected crystal and other glassware during the 1920’s and 1930’s. These are from his collection and many were collected from within the family.

This cruet is clear glass with a glass stopper. It also would make a beautiful maple syrup pitcher for an elegant brunch.

I have inspected the cruet carefully, and do not see any chips or cracks.

All antiques and collectibles I offer are family heirlooms, and not something I picked up at a garage or rummage sale.

If you or someone you know collects cruets or other items associated with the Catholic Mass, this would be a wonderful gift. Also, I have many different cruets to list in the near future, so you may want to add me as a favorite seller.

I will gladly respond to questions or inquiries, but please don’t wait until the last 1-2 days to ask them, as I may not have an opportunity to respond in that short of time.
