Overall condition is excellent.
I do not clean or polish my
vintage items so they retain their vintage patina, but all of them
polish up wonderfully! Some people like them very shiny and others
like them with a nice warm patina.
Although mustard seeds have been
recorded in Britain since Roman
times, the classic silver mustard
pot, in the form of a squat lidded
tankard, was not introduced until
around 1720 when the commercial
manufacture of mustard as a paste
began. (Previously mustard was used
in a dried, powder form). For the
next 40 years, the powdered form
remained the most popular and as
such George I & George II antique
silver mustard pots are rare.
However, from about 1760, the
beginning
of George III's reign, mustard as
paste became the most popular form
and sterling silver mustard pots have
become essential dining table attire
from then to present
day.
