Openwork Silver Mustard Pot, Sheffield 1844

This is a beautiful silver mustard pot made during the early Victorian period by Henry Wilkinson & Company of Sheffield.

The drum-shaped body of the pot is made up Gothic-style twists and scrolls in relief in an openwork frame (rather than pierced out) and has its original, removable clear glass liner to the inside. The plain, hinged cover is stamped with Sheffield hallmarks and these are repeated to the underside of the body. This attractive mustard pot is in fine condition.
