Italian Art Deco Oil and Vinegar Condiment Set

Oil and vinegar condiment sets became a staple of European dining tables in the early 20th century, offering both practicality and decorative appeal. This Italian Art Deco example features hand-painted ceramic bottles labelled for oil and vinegar (13 cm/5.1 in tall), resting in a matching fitted stand with a central handle for easy serving. Floral motifs and soft pastel tones reflect the period’s balance of elegance and everyday function. Both sculptural and utilitarian, this set captures the refined tableware design associated with Italian Art Deco ceramics.
