Vinegar cruet in crystal with body in steel mirror polished. This set for condiments is an emblematic example of “design alla Castiglioni”, where decoration is never an end in itself but instead is an expression of a very well-defined way of using the object, with results that clearly demonstrate the designer's playfulness. With their original counterweight system, the oil and vinegar cruets brilliantly solve the classic problem of not knowing where to put the stopper. And their unusual shape reflects the need to allow space for the hand to grasp the handle. A simple tray without edges provides the tabletop surface, and a small crystal mini-cruet (a personal salt castor) completes the set.
