A George III silver mustard pot by Peter, Ann & William Bateman.

A George III silver mustard pot, the plain oval form with reeded rims and initial engraved, the domed and hinged lid with shell thumb-piece leading to a flat top handle, with blue glass liner. Hallmarked Peter, Ann & William Bateman, London 1804. Maximum height measuring 3 inches (7.5 cm), silver weight 3.48 ozt (108.3 grams). The mustard pot is heavily tarnished throughout and would benefit from a clean and polish. Displaying some expected surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. A couple of minor surface dints. Repairs along the seam line are visible at the handle end. The hinged lid appears in working order but it does not close flush and rises slightly when in closed position. Hallmarks are located to the base rim and are all clearly legible. Partly worn maker's mark visible to lid. Glass liner appears in good overall condition.
