hi. to the best of my knowledge, if it says Sidney in cursive script, it was made by the Sidney Hollow ware Company, maybe between 1886 and 1887. that company was bought out by Wagner. i forget when. it it says Sidney alone, no wagner ware or wagner also on there, it was made by Wagner, after...

right-o. if i could afford the two hundred dollar plus "properly aged" stuff, i would not be doing this! i am more like in the 12-20 dollar a bottle range. this works well for me. i have tried it with the really cheap stuff, the 3-5 dollar ones, and of course you get out of food what you put...

you are most welcome! glad you liked it. works well for me.

broccoli and egg yolks? do you also have oil, maybe a bit of mustard of some kind and lemon juice? could make broccoli and mayonnaise. or maybe a hollandaise?
