Mustard or Jam Pot

I picked up this little mustard or jam pot a couple of weeks ago. No
makers mark but the glass and swag on the sides really called to me.
Plus it fills a gap in the serving ware. A nice piece is a nice piece
no matter who made it. I do not think that it is particularly old, but
unlike many modern pieces, this has a quality lid and good welds. Plus
I can jazz it up by using a really pretty and detailed spoon.

Reed & Barton Cashmere 1889

Sometimes I get a piece of silver and put it to use. This happens most
often to serving-ware. Yesterday I was making a pizza for dinner and
grabbed a ladle to scoop and spread some tomato sauce. The ladle was
marked Reed & Barton but I did not recognize the pattern. Turns out it
is Cashmere from 1889. What a great way to spread pizza sauce.
