The Grape and Cable table set consists of four pieces; a covered butter dish, a covered sugar bowl, an open spooner, and a creamer. Spooners filled with water were used to hold serving spoons. These sets were destined for the dinner table. Breakfast sets had a smaller and more squatty open sugar and creamer only. Note that butter dishes have been reproduced.
