Antique Solid Silver 'Gavel' Pepper or Pounce Pot - Sampson Mordan

19th century
Description

This is an unusual gavel-shaped solid sterling silver Victorian pepper or pounce pot, made by the famous silversmith partnership of Sampson Mordan & Co.

It is hallmarked on the reverse of the gavel. The date mark is rubbed, but the pot can be dated to 1880-1887, as the maker's mark is for Sampson Mordan (II). There is a partial hallmark on the handle.

The pepper or pounce lid screws off and fits tightly. There is a small amount of damage towards the end of the handle and signs of an old but tidy repair to the join of handle and pot. Nonetheless, this is a fabulous piece.

Dimensions:

Length: 11cm

Depth: 3.5cm

Silver Weight: 16g.

Post and packaging are free within the UK via Royal Mail special delivery. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs. Thank you.

Please note: payment by credit or debit card can be made by pressing the ‘pay now’ button on the item page - A PayPal account is not needed.
