“…The earliest recorded instance of such a bottle labelled 'LONDON' comes from a 1775 order placed with a Norwegian glass-house. However, it was not until 1806 that a bottle matching the one recovered from the Mardi Gras shipwreck was offered for sale in the New World (Jones, 1983).…”

The 'Mardi Gras' Shipwreck is the remains of an early-19th-century sailing vessel lost in approximately 1220 m of water in the Gulf of Mexico. A recent archaeological investigation documented the wreck and recovered several artefacts, including glassware, ceramics, navigational instruments, a cannon, and a stove. Analyses of these artefacts and the surviving hull have led to preliminary conclusions on the nature of the vessel and its crew.

“…Mustard squares were small enough for several to be packed and protected within a shipping crate and were an appropriate size for individuals interested in purchasing easily portable quantities. In Canada, specimens of these bottles have been recovered and identified on military forts with correlated British occupations from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries (Jones 1983). The discovery of at least eight mustard squares from the excavation of a Loyalist homestead in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario now provides a contextual extension into the domestic sphere of early Euro-Canadian society.…”

During the excavation of the Loyalist-period Butler Homestead site in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario a small cache of glass condiment bottles was discovered in a space identified as a larder or pantry. The form of the bottles suggests that they once contained dry mustard powder, the bottles of which are usually recovered from military sites when found in Canada. This paper examines the cultural history of mustard as a food and medicine, its role in eighteenth-century British cookery and agriculture, and demonstrates how this specific form of glass container tied a Loyalist household to local and international trade networks in British North America and England.
