This antique mustard pot is an exceptional gauge of silver, fine quality and in exceptional presentation condition.

The bright cut engraved decoration is very crisp.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface and part hallmarks to the interior of the cover are all very clear; the maker’s mark to the body is rubbed but remains very clear to the cover.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of Victorian silverware.
