Mustard Pot

Joseph Shoemaker

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a silver mustard pot by Joseph Shoemaker. The pot is cylindrical and made of silver with a handle on the right side and a lid on top. The lid is flat with a small lever on top. The handle is curved and attached to the pot with a small loop. The pot has a decorative edge around the top and bottom. The base of the pot shows some tarnish, otherwise it appears to be in good condition. The background of the image is a gradient from light gray at the bottom to dark gray at the top.
