Description

This is a charming Mid-Century Sterling Silver Mustard Pot with its original Blue Glass Liner. It is a round pot of bulbous form with a ball and spike finial and a stylish handle.

The mustard pot is made in Birmingham by silversmiths Joseph Gloster Ltd and dates to 1957. Joseph Gloster founded his firm in the 1880s and they remained in business for nearly a century until the 1970s. They made a wide range of silver items of consistently good quality.

Condition is very good with no dings or dents and just the minimal superficial surface wear that has to be expected in an item of this age and use. The lid fits snugly, the hinge is in good order and there are no chips or cracks in the blue glass liner. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The mustard pot is 4cm / 1.6ins high to the top of the finial and 3.8cm / 1.5ins in diameter at its widest part. Without the blue glass liner, it weighs in at 27.9g / 0.98oz of solid Sterling Silver.

The hallmarks on the underside of the base are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for London, the date letter H for 1957 and the J.G Ltd makers' mark for Joseph Gloster Ltd.
