FAQs

Antique silver mustard pots were developed in the eighteenth century to serve dry or prepared mustard at the dining table, featuring a hinged lid and a small cutout to accommodate a condiment spoon.

These vessels were typically crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, frequently designed to house a blue glass liner to protect the metal from the corrosive effects of mustard.

Authentic pieces generally display official assay office hallmarks indicating silver purity, location of manufacture, makers mark, and date letter, along with Period construction features such as hand-cut hinges and cast thumbpieces.

An antique silver mustard pot can be displayed as a accent on a dining room sideboard, integrated into a silver collection on a serving tray, or utilised as an elevated condiment vessel for formal dining.

Gently clean the silver exterior with a soft cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding harsh abrasives, and ensure any glass liner is washed separately in warm soapy water before drying thoroughly.
