Topic: Another salt,smaller and opalescent.

well you've just reminded me of something. Many many moons ago, when my father was in the Navy and came back from one of his long journeys, he my mother some solid perfumes, I think four in a long box or maybe three.  I thought they were Japanese as a child, but perhaps they weren't, maybe French?  They were treasured items, used sparingly, presumably strongly scented or something.  They smelt gorgeous is all I recall So perhaps your 'rouge' pot isn't far off.

referring to my post just above I think they must have been these or something very similar?  That box looks familiar.

mmm, bearing in mind Christine's salt and the size of it, perhaps the two I linked to may be the Master salts and the one you have is an 'individual salt'
see explanation here

I saw these and they reminded me of your 'salt'.
I wonder if yours is the top part of some kind of similar candle holder?

Seems to be a lot of them about,

Keith — If English, it could be Manchester as well as NE.

Size is OK for English mustard — some Colman's pots are smaller.   Also plated rim is fine, seen on Colman's DG Ware pots.

I said mustard back in July  -  and everyone ignored me .............           but I do think mustard is a good contender - the size is just right.
