19th century
Description

This is a super antique early Victorian sterling silver mustard pot measuring 4" (10 cms) across including the handle x 3 1/4" (8 cms) wide x 3" (8 cms) high.

The mustard is hallmarked for London 1840 with the silversmiths mark for joseph & Albert Savory and it also comes with a spoon which this is hallmarked for London 1827 so is obviously not original to the pot.

The spoon and mustard without the liner weigh 149.3 grams / 4.8 troy oz and everything is in excellent condition and will come in a gift box with a certificate of authenticity.

Free worldwide fully insured shipping.

This early Victorian sterling silver mustard pot dates from 1840 in the English Country House style. The piece is fashioned in silver with a polished finish and features a lobed body, embossed floral chasing, a hinged lid, a scroll handle, and four cast feet, accompanied by a separate spoon. The pot measures 8 cm high, 10 cm wide, and 8 cm deep. In a home today, this piece makes a refined addition to a sideboard top for dining displays or tableware collections. The lid includes a small hinge mechanism at the handle join, and the body displays detailed chased floral motifs across its rounded lobes. The four cast feet support the raised bowl, while the matching spoon rests inside with its handle extending outward.

FAQs

Mustard pots became standard table appointments in Britain during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, designed to contain wet mustard paste served alongside meats. Early Victorian examples frequently featured elaborate repousse floral work, lobed bodies, and fitted lids with notches for silver spoons.

These vessels were hand-raised or cast from sterling silver (925 purity), decorated using chasing or embossing techniques, and completed with a hinged lid, thumbpiece, and scroll handle. Some examples contained gilded interiors or removable glass liners to prevent metal corrosion from acidic condiments.

Authentic British pieces bear official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant denoting sterling silver, a monarch duty mark, a date letter indicating the year of manufacture, and a registered makers mark.

An antique silver mustard pot can be arranged on a dining table or sideboard top as part of a formal tablescape, or placed on a vanity tray in a dressing room to store delicate jewellery.

Silver should be polished gently with a specialized silver cloth or non-abrasive polish, rinsed in warm soapy water, and thoroughly dried with a soft microfibre cloth. Keep silver away from prolonged contact with salt, acids, and rubber to prevent severe tarnishing and corrosion.
