There are no engravings. There is a slight wobble to the base.

Diameter: 3cm

Silver Weight: 40g.

FAQs

A pounce pot, or sander, was used prior to the widespread adoption of blotting paper to sprinkle pounce powdertypically made from powdered cuttlefish bone or gum sandaraconto parchment to smooth the writing surface and dry fresh ink.

Victorian pounce pots were commonly crafted from sterling silver, electroplated nickel silver, or pewter, featuring turned lathe detailing, pedestal feet, and hand-perforated domed lids for controlled powder distribution.

Authentic silver pounce pots carry official British silver hallmarks denoting the maker, purity mark, assay office, and date letter, along with physical indications of historical manufacturing such as seam lines and turned bases.

Place the pounce pot on an executive writing desk alongside contemporary leather blotters, or display it on a library bookshelf positioned among hardback volumes and brass study objects.

Clean gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive compounds that could reduce the clarity of surface hallmarks or lathe-turned reeding.
