Guntherhess, oh yea its pontiled, we were digging pipe pontiled wines when this one came up. i would date the pit somewhere between 1830-1800, cyberdigger your guess is as ggod as mine as its a large size one, so far no one i have shown it to has never seen one before, just will wait and see if anyone comes up with any info on it.

Hi All, dug many, many london mustards over the years but this one is a first, anyone seen one this size, i guess supersized is nothing new. its about 9" tall can't find my ruler but i have a regular for compairison.
Hey Joseph,
More photos, please, in natural light if you can. What is the embossing? "Best / London"? My lying eyes are telling me it's a delightfully psyk amber. A perennial favorite of moi. [8D]
I think you'll find this article on London Mustard Bottles, by Olive R. Jones of interest. Now you gotta dig a flat octagonal... [8D]
"An early cata- log from the London wholesale firm of S. Maw (1839:39) lists Mustard Squares in ‘/2 and 1 pound sizes under the heading “Black Glass Bottles, Carboys, etc.†A Pellatt [and Green] price list dated 1 January 1830 has Mustard Squares, all sizes, in green and white [color- less] glass. A slightly later Apsley Pellatt list (1838?) includes Mustard Squares in !h and 1 pound sizes under the heading ‘*Flatsovals or
octagon.†The Hudson’s Bay Company began sending mustard flour to North America by the â€square†in 1798and used the term inter- mittently until 1851 (Krause 1971:3)."
