Jar (5) - .835 silver - Mustard Salt Spice Jar

Antique Dutch silver pepper shaker, mustard pot, and salt cellar with cobalt blue glass (ca. 1902–1905, neo-rococo style)

Elegant and complete antique silver tabletop set consisting of a pepper shaker, mustard pot, and salt cellar, all fitted with original cobalt blue glass inserts and matching spoons.

The set is made of silver with a fineness of 835/1000 and bears Dutch hallmarks, including the walking lion, the Minerva head, and the year letter “T.” This combination accurately dates the whole to the period around 1902–1905.

The design is executed in a refined historizing style with clear neo-rococo influences, visible in the graceful ornaments, floral garlands, openwork edges, and elegant feet. This style was especially favored around the turn of the century and makes the piece decorative as well as collectible.

The pepper shaker has a characteristic cylindrical form with a perforated top, while the mustard pot and salt cellar rest on graceful feet. The deep cobalt blue glass provides a striking contrast with the silver.
