Pierced Sterling Silver Mustard Pot Hallmarks Wilcox Wagoner 1900-1929 No Liner

Description

This mustard jar jacket originally held a smooth cobalt jar. As with the other glass-lined sterling table dishes, the intent of the cobalt glass was to accommodate a condiment that would otherwise damage or tarnish the silver, or need to be washed frequently. Hence, mustard, sugar, jam, salt--and probably olives, pickles, capers--anything made with vinegar or substantial salt. These dishes were for 'day of' use, not for long-term storage (except perhaps salt and pepper). They did not normally seal air-tight. They simply had to hold enough for that meal or day.
Condition: Silver has no visible damage. Cobalt glass liner has only shards remaining. I have not tried to remove it. I did not weigh the item because of the glass.
Size: OD 2.75" high x 2 1/8" wide
Hallmarks: "Sterling 927", and Sword & Wreath hallmark for Wilcox & Wagoner (1900-1929). Massachusetts.
Part of a group of sterling with cobalt blue glass (see last photo) from an estate with fine sterling and glass. See our eBay store for more.
