Item Description
Listen up, darlings, if you are going to be serving mustard with your bangers (that's hot dogs to my fellow Americans), you'd be well advised to serve it up elegant-like - no Coleman's jars direct from the fridge for you - and here's the thing to help you do just that. An ancient, cracking, butch, mustard pot with and early faceted blue glass liner (Not one of the disappointing modern replacements one sees all too often these days). Butch, because of its sheer size, but this pot retains its elegant presence at table with the delicate piercing that make Georgian examples like this one sing of quality. They just don't make 'em like they used to, and this example is nigh on flawless. Oh, and did I forget to tell you about the SUBLIME pussycat crest at the end of the oval? Have a look. His presence, even with the poor, hapless rat in his mouth makes this pot the cat's meow...Couldn't waste that opportunity, now could I?
Length (including handle): 12cm (4 3/4 inches)
