band of bright cut decoration running along the border of the lid. The body of
the mustard pot has four bands of ribbing at the top and at the base with three
bands of bright cut decoration in between. There is a bright cut cartouche on

very crisp. It is also stamped on the inside of the lid with the maker's mark,
the lion passant and the date mark. |
