Description

note in one of bottles " very old Anitque of Janet Christensen Barber given to her by her sister.  This is valuable also rare - I (Susie Klute) had it Sterling re-silvered in 1942- Shoulb Be Good Luck. Take good care of this- Harry +Susie (I love it)  Dottie-Don-Mary +Dee"  there are two other words at bottom of note that I can't read.  This note was written before 1967 (I would guess in the late 50's)

glass is hand cut, lots of details but no markings to identify.  I don't know what to call this to look for it online.  I haven't figured out what all the bottles are for:  salt, pepper, vinegar, oil, and ??  but that one looks like the top has a little slot for a spoon or fork in the lid

the top part rotates the bottles around like a lazy suzan...... moves easily without squeaks or anything (not sure if that makes any difference)
