it is in terrific condition

but personally these just make me like it more

You know I'm always on the hunt for beautiful old spellers loaded with good words

and I believe was taken there

Not Perfect But Very Lovely c. 1800 Pearlware Mustard Pot with Blue Edging antique hand-writing it is in terrific conditionI found a near exact likeness of this sweet blue and white mustard pot dating it to right around 1800, English. The lid shows a little damage and old repair, but it's always a bit of a miracle to find a little pot with its lid still on it some 200+ years later! I love the blue stripe around the middle, with excellent painterly bleeding to the blue and a dip on one side, reminding me a bit of "seaweed" decoration on old yellowware and mochaware. Makes
