Antique Silver Mustard Pots
Although consumed in the UK in its wet state since the 1300’s, sterling silver mustard pots seem to only be available from the mid 18th Century onwards, with ‘blind’ casters containing dry mustard powder used at the table towards the start of the 18th Century. Since inception, the mustard pot form has varied in keeping with current trends and fashions, and nowadays early pieces, novelty examples such as owls and other animals, and attractive designs, are all highly collectible and sought after.
