Condition Report
The mustard pot appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general wear, tarnishing, surface scratches and marks. Some minor dints and edge nicks and slight knock to foot rim. A couple of possible small repairs to base. Hinged lid appears in good working order, although a slight gap remains on one side when in the closed position. Residues of polish and other dirt around the hinge. The hallmarks and maker's marks appear rubbed and partly distorted but still legible. Likely replacement liner.
