Rare Early Gaudy Welsh Mustard Pot c1840 (Sold)

Often later continental bone china cruets can be found, but early English or Welsh pottery mustards are rare. This early mustard pot is a fine example, boldly painted in iron red, cobalt blue and green with touches of purple lustre. In good antique condition - the only faults being a tiny chip and an unglazed patch under the lid (from manufacture), which also has some age related staining (see image 5). I feel it just lends this fine old pot more character and it displays beautifully. The spoon is probably a little later, but it's the correct size and works well. Height with lid 7.75cm (3in)
