Antique 1920s Mellor’s Mustard Stoneware Pot with Orange Lettering

Orange lettering and stripes on a white stoneware pot just 5.5 cm tall.

This 1920s Mellor’s Mustard advertising pot combines a compact condiment container with bold printed decoration. The orange branding stands out against the white stoneware, giving the small form a strong graphic presence.

Originally made for the table, it kept the product’s name visible alongside its practical purpose. Today, the lettering and proportions make it an interesting example of everyday packaging preserved in ceramic.

Display it beside plain jars and contemporary pottery on a kitchen shelf, where the orange print can provide a warm accent. It also suits a few short dried stems, giving the pot a new role while keeping the branding in view.

A small piece of British food history for someone who enjoys typography and unusual kitchen objects.
