Any thought's on this would be welcome as to a rough age. I'm not 100% sure how it's made. The base looks mould blown, there is an inner rim for the lid but no mould lines on the outer surface and the handle looks applied after by hand, the 18 point star base feels pressed rather than cut and there is a thick deep cut design on the outer surface. The lid has two mould marks near the handle which is hand cut with a tiny 8 point star, and hand cut circle design on the outer surface. It glows slightly green under uv.

I'm guessing it's a mustard pot as there is a gap in the lid for a spoon.

3 1/2 inches in height with lid and 2 1/2 inches across the base.

Regards Chris.
