Summary
Mustard pot, sterling silver with blue glass liner, by William Barnard & Sons, London, 1899/1900. The pot has an oval body which is straight sided and formed of seamed sheet with pierced decoration of two squared dot-and-line bands either side of an intersecting wave motif. There is an applied moulding at the lip and the foot ring is reeded as is the flat-topped harp-shape handle. The plain, round-ended thumb-piece (bent forwards from the intended vertical) sits in front of the three-part pin hinge which connects the handle to the plain oval cover. There is an incision in the cover, opposite the handle, to accommodate the stem of a spoon. The interior of the pot is fitted with a plain blue-glass liner which is contemporary. Heraldry: The cover of the mustard pot is engraved with the crest of a lion rampant above a walled mound. The family represented by this crest has not been identified. Hallmarks: Fully marked on the underside of the foot rim with maker’s mark W J M S around large B and above R D for Walter, John, Michael and Stanley Barnard with Robert Dubock (Edward Barnard & Sons, 1896 registered mark), sterling lion, leopard’s head and date letter ‘d’ for 1899/1900. Cover marked on the underside with maker’s mark as above, sterling lion and date letter ‘d’.
