History: This is a mid-century Royal Worcester porcelain mustard pot, fitted with a chrome-plated lid and ring handle. The botanical transfer features bramble leaves and ripe blackberries, common in several Royal Worcester lines that celebrated English countryside flora. The shape and chromed lid style were popular in condiment jars from the 1950s to the 1970s, often sold as part of breakfast or luncheon services. The green ink backstamp with the circular monogram and mention of “Porcelaine” (French spelling) reflects a mid-20th century export-oriented branding style.
 
 
The use of chrome and transfer-print floral designs points to post-war mass production intended for both domestic and international markets. While attractive and collectible, these pieces are relatively common and thus modestly valued unless in pristine condition or part of a complete set.
 
Flaws: None
