Fancey Mustard

[Relicsnstuff]

Hi all, not a bottle but early, just trying to see if the folks on the other side of the pond can chime in on this one, came out of a early pit, (at least for us in america), dug a lot of mustards over the years but never one like this.

That is very nice, I'll be surprised if it's not a valuable jar. What was the age of the privy?

Hi,
The Mustard Pot dates to around 1860 and although not common do turn up in wealthier areas as mustard was quite expensive. These are not overly valuable but normally go for around $100 - $150

Hey Joseph,

Wonderful mustard pot, sir. I love the crazing. Is there a registration diamond under your palm, or is that a prize medal? Please do take some more focusy photos of the transfer, please.
