A refined antique George V sterling silver condiment set, hallmarked in London in 1926 and bearing the sponsor mark of W. Drummond & Co. The set comprises an open salt cellar, a lidded mustard pot, two original cobalt blue glass liners and an accompanying hallmarked sterling silver condiment spoon.

Both silver vessels are designed with softly rounded oval bodies, raised pedestal bases and decorative beaded borders enriched with delicate foliate details. The mustard pot is fitted with a hinged lid, a graceful scroll handle and a practical opening for the spoon.

Historical and Collector Context

W. Drummond & Co. was a Melbourne retailer of silver and precious objects. The firm’s sponsor mark appears on London-hallmarked silver during the early 20th century, giving this set an appealing connection between English silver craftsmanship and Australian retail history.

Small silver condiment sets were a traditional feature of formal dining tables. Cobalt blue glass liners served both a decorative and practical purpose, creating a rich visual contrast while protecting the silver interiors from direct contact with salt and mustard.

The clear London 1926 dating, original liners, accompanying sterling silver spoon and W. Drummond & Co. sponsor mark make this a charming and collectable example of George V table silver.
