This vintage glass oil cruet is attributed to Westmoreland Specialty Company's No. 1776 Colonial pattern, introduced in 1912. The cruet has a rounded, eight-sided body with raised vertical ribs extending from the narrow neck to the footed base. It features a substantial curved handle, flared pouring spout, and a pale greenish tint to the otherwise nearly clear glass. The glass fluoresces a bright yellow-green under a 380 nm ultraviolet blacklight, particularly along the raised ribs, neck, handle, and base. The cruet includes a rounded glass stopper. The original Westmoreland catalog illustrates this pattern with a pointed stopper, so the included stopper is believed to be a replacement.
Size
Height with stopper: 7 inches
Height without stopper: 5 inches
Diameter: Approximately 3 inches
Condition
The cruet is in good vintage condition with no chips or cracks identified.
There is a long surface scratch on the underside of the base. It can be felt on the exterior but does not appear to extend through the glass. There are additional light surface marks consistent with age and handling. The included stopper is believed to be a replacement and differs from the pointed stopper shown in the original manufacturer's catalog.
History
The Westmoreland Specialty Company of Grapeville, Pennsylvania, introduced its No. 1776 Colonial glassware line around 1912. The Colonial line included oil and vinegar cruets, condiment sets, salt and pepper shakers, and other table accessories. The original manufacturer's catalog illustrated several variations, including a six-ounce Squat Oil cruet, a six-ounce Tall Oil cruet, and a smaller two-ounce Oil cruet. The pattern featured molded vertical panels, curved handles, and decorative stoppers. Examples were produced in clear and colored glass.
