A Rare 18th Century Glass Dry Mustard Jar

A rare dry mustard jar from the 18th Century Georgian period. 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.

This lovely example has a rounded and slice cut base with a slice cut body. There is an etched panel of decoration around the waist, which is echoed on the original steeple lid. A wonderful collector's item and still usable today for other condiments. Dimensions below.
