Overview and Design

Maker: Made in England by Mayell & Co. under the "Queen Anne" brand name.

Era: Mostly produced during the mid-century modern (MCM) 1960s through the 1980s.

Materials: Silver-plated metal frames paired with fine-cut crystal glass or vibrant cobalt blue glass liners.

Components: Standard sets include a salt shaker, a pepper shaker, and a lidded mustard pot (sometimes with a small matching spoon) resting on an ornate wirework or gallery tray with a central carry handle.

Key Features of Your Clear Crystal Set

The Glasswork: The clear glass inserts usually feature a pressed diamond or "button" pattern that mimics high-end cut crystal, catching the light elegantly on a dining table.

Tarnish Resistance: Mayell pieces from the 1970s onwards were manufactured with an "EP on Steel" electroplate method and finished with a special protective coating, meaning it rarely needs aggressive polishing.

Dating the Box: If the box is a dark blue or red cardboard casing with satin or moulded plastic lining, your set most likely dates from the 1970s to the early 1980s.

A complete 5-piece revolving carousel set with its original box and spoon is the most premium layout Mayell produced under the "Queen Anne" line.

Because the vast majority of these sets lost their small plastic or silver-plated mustard spoons and cardboard boxes over the last few decades, finding one 100% intact commands a premium from vintage tabletop collectors.
