Mustard pot with the coat of arms of Hendrik Peter Godfried Quack and Isabella Gertraud von Carnap c. 1790 - 1800

This 18th century mustard pot with lid is a fine example of European decorative arts, showcasing the craftsmanship of E. Blancheron. The pot is adorned with delicate, hand-painted gold embellishments depicting a wreath of leaves and flowers, possibly lily-of-the-valley, a common motif in decorative arts of the period. The coat of arms of Hendrik Peter Godfried Quack and Isabella Gertraud von Carnap, likely the original owners, is also incorporated in the design, suggesting the pot was commissioned as a bespoke piece. The pot is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
