The surface of each piece is embellished with concentric bands of tooled decoration, all in the iconic Art Deco style.
The mustard pot is fitted with an angular handle with a plain upper plateau.
The mustard pot retains the original hinged hallmarked domed cover, ornamented with tiered concentric circular decoration and surmounted with an Art Deco style tapering cylindrical finial.

This vintage silver condiment
...set is supplied with associate salt and mustard spoons.
These fine examples of vintage silverware are fitted to the original hinged leatherette box with satin and velvet lined interior, securing with two hinged catches.
The interior of the box bears the retailer''s mark ''By Appointment, Mappin & Webb Ltd, Sheffield & London'' and each component of the condiment set bears the retailer''s mark ''Mappin & Webb Ltd, Sheffield & London''.
The exceptional condiment set will have been crafted in the same year, but due to the hallmarking system the mustard pot is struck with the date letter ''D'', whereas the pepper and salt bear the date letter ''E''.
Such iconic Art Deco examples in the original fitted box are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
