Mustard pot
Description
A mustard pot in this form is a distinctly European service piece. The coat of arms has not yet been determined; the motto on the banner reads "nigra sum sed" (= against evil). The painting is entirely European in character; only the ring ornament on the lower edge betrays Chinese influence.
