Duck with Cloche Hat (c. 1900) French Mustard Pot

This unusual French porcelain mustard pot takes the form of a duck wearing a jaunty cloche hat its bright orange bill painted in bold contrast.

Circa 1900, figural mustard pots such as this were prized for their humor and novelty, bringing levity to the dining table. The sailor motif also reflects turn-of-the-century French maritime culture. A witty and collectible piece of Belle Époque porcelain.
