Pair of Vintage Lord Nelson Pottery Colman’s Mustard Advertising Dishes, C.1970s

Product Description A charming pair of vintage Colman’s Mustard advertising dishes, made in England by Lord Nelson Pottery. Each glazed ceramic dish has a scalloped rectangular shape with an ornate golden-yellow and black border. The nostalgic illustration depicts a child reaching into a kitchen cupboard, accompanied by the playful slogan, “Stands highest in my estimation.” Display them on a kitchen shelf or drinks trolley, use them as trinket dishes or teaspoon rests, style them as part of a mid-century table setting, or add them to a gallery wall. Lord Nelson Pottery was associated with Elijah Cotton’s Nelson Pottery in Hanley, Staffordshire. The pottery works opened in 1885 and produced a wide variety of English earthenware until its closure in 1981. Colman’s, meanwhile, was founded near Norwich in 1814 and remains one of Britain’s best-known mustard brands. The Lord Nelson Pottery backstamp is printed on the underside. These dishes probably date from the 1970s, although no date code is visible.
