A Rare Georgian Silver Mounted Dry Mustard and Spoon.

An unusual 18th Century silver mounted dry mustard jar and spoon. These rare and interesting items were used on the Georgian dining table for holding dry mustard (as opposed to the more commonly found 'made' mustard - a condiment that along with other spices, such as cayenne and cinnamon were used in dry form as a condiment.

This lovely example has a star cut base and hobnail body with a reeded silver rim. The hallmarked silver mustard spoon is an associated example and is Victorian. A wonderful collector's item and still usable today for other condiments.
