antique treen pounce pot - CATEGORY: ANTIQUE MISCELLANEOUS - DATED 19TH CENTURY
 

Antique Treen Pounce Pot

£75    $100    €88
This is a mid 1800s boxwood pounce pot. The lid unscrews for refilling.
 
This pounce pot measures 7cm h x 4.9cm w.
 
The pounce had two functions it was shaken onto some writing surfaces like parchment to make it smooth to write on and the other use was to dry ink prior to  the introduction of blotting paper c1840. After sprinkling the pounce onto the surface excess pounce was poured back into the antique treen  pots via the holes in the top, hence why the top is saucer shaped to retain the precious pounce or by unscrewing the lid.
