The mustard pot modelled as Mr Punch, typically seated with legs crossed, smoking a pipe held in his left hand and a wine cup in his right hand. The lid hinged at his crowned hat. The pepper formed as Judy sitting on a stack of 3 bound volumes, wearing a bonnet and taking a pinch of snuff from a box held in her left hand. The salt being Toby, their dog, cast in a seated pose on natural terrain wearing a ruff around his neck and a hat on his head.

A superb Victorian race cup upon a triform base with large, curling, matted and leafy scrolls at each of the 3 projections and with graduated beads descending at the centre of each leaf. Each of the sides between the leaves with an oval cartouche. The first inscribed: “Richmond Meeting 1848” surrounded by further scrolls and leaves. The second inscribed: “Won by Ellerdale, Oct. (Octavius) Vernon Harcourts Esqr”. The third with: “Stewards, the Right Hon.  The Earl of Zetland;  R. M Jacques Esqr;  M.Wyvill Jr Esqr.”

The latter superbly embossed and chased with a row of playful horses upon a textured ground resembling grass. The rim with a bold egg and dart border. Complete with original fitted wooden case.
