The Mustard Pot is modelled in the "Drum" form with a beaded base and rim. The sides are beautifully pierced and engraved with unusual "Raying" Flowerheads in roundels, as well as flower head details in arches. The sides are also engraved with floral garlands and prick dot bands. The cover is slightly domed, an unusual feature for Hester, and is also engraved with prick dot bands and wriggle work designs. This piece has a fan shaped thumb piece and scroll handle. The Mustard Pot is fully marked on the base and with the maker's mark and sterling mark on the cover. It is in quite excellent, crisp, condition.
This is the first time we have seen this specific design of Mustard Pot by Hester Bateman and the quality of production is exceptional.
Height, to the top of the thumb piece: 2.9 inches, 7.25 cm.
Base Diameter: 2.45 inches, 6.13 cm.
