Antique Creamware Mustard Pot with Lid and Stand, England Circa 1810

$385.00

This antique creamware mustard pot was made in England around 1810.
The pot features an elegant, barrel-shaped, rounded body with an integrated stand, a gracefully shaped handle, and a domed lid with a cut-out notch for a spoon.
The attached base—an uncommon and desirable detail—served both functional and decorative purposes, protecting table linens while enhancing the overall silhouette of the piece.
Mustard pots like this one were standard fixtures on Georgian dining tables, often included as part of a cruet or condiment set.
The clean lines and restrained ornament reflect the neoclassical aesthetic of the early 19th century, emphasizing balance, utility, and refined simplicity.
The mustard pot is a fine example of English creamware serving ware from the late Georgian period.

Background of creamware

Creamware is the name given to a type of earthenware pottery made from white clays from Dorset and Devonshire combined with calcined flint.
Creamware was first produced in England sometime before 1740.
Foremost among the pioneers of creamware in the Staffordshire Potteries was Thomas Whieldon.
He created a wide variety of creamware.
The young Josiah Wedgwood was in partnership with Thomas Whieldon from 1754 to 1759.
When Wedgwood left to start his own business, he immediately focused his efforts on developing creamware.
Many of the best Staffordshire Potteries learned from Whieldon and Wedgwood and developed their own creamware products.
