Three or more is supposed to be a collection and several years ago after reading a book either by or about James Beard, I decided that I should follow in his footsteps and collect mustard pots.
But not just any mustard pot -- French ones only please. Dijon mustard only please!
And so they reside on my kitchen window sill. Bought one at a time for mere pennies (or perhaps should I say a dollar or two) at flea markets and estate sales.I hit the mother load of estate sales this weekend when I found THREE!
This is the guy that started it all -- real mustard inside from Dean and Deluca's. He's my most treasured pot since it's the first!

Here they are -- all lined up like soldiers on my kitchen window sill. A small collection amassed slowly but a favorite collection.

What a unique collection...I know of no one that collects mustard pots. I ♥ all the different shapes and sizes. Are they pottery, ceramic or glass? Thanks for sharing.

What a special collection! This must be very old musted pots. By chance I also have a musterd pot in my blog entry today. But it is a decorative one.
What a lovely collection!
