The Sauce Label is Heraldic in style displaying a scroll banner, with feather edge border. The oval cartouche above is engraved with a contemporary Crest and is flanked by two supporters and a trifurcated device above. The label is engraved with the very rare title of CAYON PEPPER. The label is in excellent condition and is marked on the reverse with MB for the specialist label maker, Margaret Binley. This design is frequently seen in the larger wine label size, however this is the first time we have ever seen it being made in the small sauce label size and can find no illustrations in any of the sauce and wine label books. It may well have been a special commission to match some existing wine labels.
