A nice example of a 19th century pounce pot. Pounce pots were used for sprinkling pounce( a powdered gum that fixed ink to paper) to seal letters etc. This particular one is made from fruitwood and has been nicely turned and unusually comes in one piece. The item is in very good condition considering its age.
