This is a late Georgian mouth-blown dry mustard pot with a lemon squeezer foot dating from the beginning of the 19th century, c1810.
The pot is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear consistent with some 200 years of use.
The pot is an inverted baluster in shape. The reservoir is plain and has an everted rim. The reservoir sits on a thin annular collar and a short, plain stem which leads to a lemon squeezer foot that measures 4.5 cm (1.8 inches) square. The pot is 11 cm (4.4 inches) in height without the lid and 17 cm (6.8 inches) in height with the lid inserted.
The lid is plain and domed and is probably the original. It is of the same colour and metal as the decanter and is a good fit. It ends in a facet cut spire finial.
There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.
The pot weighs in at 250 g. (~ 9 oz.).
