Glass Oil and Vinegar Bottle by T. G. Hawkes & Company

This exquisite bottle by the renowned T. G. Hawkes & Company features intricate intaglio designs of flowers and leaves, complemented by elegant lettering that spells out “Oil” and “Vinegar.” These markings guide the preparation of a perfect vinaigrette, with lines indicating the precise amounts of vinegar and oil to be added. Simply fill the vinegar to the first line, add oil to the second, mix in spices and create an ideal salad dressing. A functional work of art, it serves as both a sophisticated kitchen accessory and refined table decor. The bottle is completed with its original sterling silver stopper.

Widely recognized as masters of American cut glass, T.G. Hawkes & Company gained international prominence during the Brilliant Period of cut glass, from 1880 to 1910. During this time, some of the nation’s greatest families, such as the Rockefellers, Astors, Whitneys, Vanderbilts and Fricks purchased cut table glassware for their homes from this legendary company.
