A refined sterling silver mustard jar and matching ladle crafted by Marcus & Company of New York, a distinguished American jeweler and silversmith active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The jar features an intricate reticulated design that elegantly reveals the rich cranberry red glass insert beneath, creating a striking contrast between the shimmering silver and vibrant glass. Designed with both beauty and function in mind, the jar includes a graceful side handle for easy passing and a hinged lid topped with a decorative finial for added sophistication. The accompanying sterling silver ladle is thoughtfully crafted with a deep, rounded bowl—perfect for serving generous portions of mustard or condiment. A beautiful example of Gilded Age tableware, blending fine craftsmanship with timeless decorative appeal.
