A thirteen sided condiment jar that possibly contained mustard or pickle and which would have been on the dining tables of both the officers and passengers as well as the enlisted crew. The colours on the cut glass are stunning and in part caused by the process of delamination that takes place while glass objects are subject to the salt in sea water over a period of time.
