<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 10788075, member: 111"]The majority of mustard pots retain their glass liners, even those a couple of centuries old, likely protected by the lid. Should note that mustard pots and open salts were sold both with and without matching spoons, and the spoons do often go missing. Concerning this piece, the spoon shown with it is not original, it's a salt spoon, the original mustard spoon would have had an oval bowl, and unless bearing the same maker's mark (on British sterling, date letters also matching or close) or unmarked with a distinctive design matching the pot, there's no way to know if a spoon is actually original.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]534482[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
