Ancient milanese silver oil cruet consisting of an oval tray supported by four cast feet in the shape of zoomorphic legs; the edge of the tray is a ribbon formed by the succession of two different shapes of palmettes which is repeated on the ampoule holders and cap holders. The former are supported by three female caryatids while the latter are supported by the mouth of a melting fish. The central stem is made of a very light moaniera with two shaped profiles containing cast floral elements. The two ampoules with handles have three acid-engraved greek keys interspersed with ground eight-pointed stars; throughout the bottle there are numerous cut stars. One of the two caps has a chip on the edge.
the cruet features the world mark with the seven trions for the second silver title (800/000); the mark with the plow indicates the tasting office of the state of milan and finally presents the silversmith's mark which, despite being worn, bears the letters s and g interspersed with the symbol of death, a skull with crossbones, identified by g. Sambonet, (milan 1987, page 203) in the successor of gerolamo gatti who died in 1828 and is not better identified. Ultimately, the cruet was made in milan between 1828 and 1872 in 800/000 silver by the silversmith who continued gerolamo gatti's activity. This piece has an attribution mark,
