Picked up this pair of cruets some time ago at an auction. These are in excellent shpae. I had identified them through one website as Stevens and Williams, however, since that time the website has gone down. I have now started the hunt of identifying them again.
Nice pair-- your flowers are different from mine, but I would agree that they very similar.
I don't believe they are English. Based on what I have seen, I would call them czech and most likely Harrach. It is common to see anything with applied decorations called Stevens and Williams in antique stores and through auction houses.

Thanks for the love Scott and Bellini and GSO and Nidonne. I guess the bottom line is it is very difficult for us to pin point origin as there was a lot of copying of successful designs that went on for years. Unless we have a companies catalog showing these cruets, there will probably be differing opinions on them. Two very knowledgeable glass collectors I know both have seen these and thought Stevens and Williams. However, I know there is a belief on this site of Harrach. I have seen one site that listed a lot of Stevens and Williams with the same styling especially the feet and the lime green interior coloring. Stevens and Williams or Harrach, both old both great glass makers and they just sit on the shelf and I like them. One day, maybe someone can come up with a definitive reference on these and we can have the answer. Thank you for your comments, Keith
Thanks inky for the love...
