Comments	Early epergnes were generally made of metal, and provided a similar function to that of a cruet set, for oils and dressings bottles. Glass epergnes were introduced towards the end of the 1800s and held sweet treats for dinner guests, or were decorated with flowers to add beauty to the dinner table or sideboard.
