Rare George I Silver Pounce Pot London 1727 James Goodwin

18th century
For Sale by The Fancy Fox
Description

A charming early Georgian silver pounce pot of baluster shape with reeded detail to the body, foot and rim. The push on domed cover has a stepped edge and button finial with pretty hand pierced holes of flower shapes, curves and droplets. The original owner's initials P*D are engraved to the belly. Hallmarked to the base for London 1727, maker James Goodwin, the cover is unmarked as usual.

It measures 9.5cm (3 3/4") high and 4.5cm (1 3/4") wide and weighs 64g / 2.1ozt. 

In excellent condition with no dents, holes or repairs. The cover has two very minor faults with splits between a couple of the piercings due to the proximity of their placing, leaving what would have been the finest slithers of metal that couldn't really have hoped to survive intact. There is a tiny loss similarly to one of the flower arrangements. Handling wear is minor and there is a small scratch to the side of the pot.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A pounce pot is an 18th-century desktop accessory used to dispense powdered gum sandarac or cuttlefish bone onto parchment to prepare the writing surface or dry excess ink.

These vessels were hand-raised from sterling silver sheets, featuring baluster or faceted bodies, stepped circular pedestal feet, and hand-pierced domes designed to control powder flow.

Authentic British silver from the George I period features a full set of official hallmarks, including the makers mark, town mark, date letter, and the lion passant standard mark.

An antique pounce pot can be displayed on a dark wood executive office desk, styled within a library bookshelf arrangement, or paired with antique writing instruments on a console.

Clean gently with a dry microfibre cloth and a specialist non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding liquid dips that can strip natural oxidisation from intricate piercing and engravings.
