An intricate silver-plated novelty cruet set depicting a traditional Chinese sampan/junk boat steered by a figure with an oar. The hinged cabin roof lifts to reveal a fitted interior housing a salt shaker and mustard pot, with a toothpick or match holder styled as the forward chimney/bamboo vessel. Hand-etched textured detailing decorates the roof and cabin sides, presenting a charming piece of Asian export metalwork. Overall fair to good vintage condition with age-appropriate surface wear and light scratching throughout. The hinged roof mechanism functions smoothly, and two of three removable condiment receptacles are present and intact.
