Bearing a shield-form trade mark, this example combines a removable cobalt blue glass liner with an elaborate silver-plated surround. Shells, scrolling foliage, and a gadrooned border frame the rounded rectangular opening, while four lion-mask legs descend to sculptural paw feet. A hinged, stepped cover with an urn-shaped finial and a high loop handle complete the richly detailed silhouette.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade for serving prepared mustard, the pot reflects the tradition of giving even the smallest table accessories considerable decorative attention. Its deep blue liner creates a striking contrast with the silver and separates the condiment from the metal body, lifting out for cleaning. The accompanying spoon rests through a notch in the cover, allowing the lid to close between servings. A distinctive addition beside a roast or cold supper, particularly among collected salts, antique flatware, and patterned china. Includes the pot, cobalt glass liner, and spoon shown.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e William Adams, a firm operating in Birmingham, England.
