Late 18th. century Ponce, Ink Sander

An excellent example of a late 18th. to early 19th. century Ponce, Ink Sander. These small pieces of treenware were beautifully carved and had a series of holes on the top. The container was filled with sand thru the holes and the Ponce was used to blot up blobs of ink that frequently dripped from the quill onto the paper. Once dried the sand was discarded or, very often, added back into the Ponce. Another name for this is an Ink Sander. This one is especially nice and early. The carvings on around the circumference of the Ponce add fine detail. Original Black painted surface, the Ponce measures 3 1/8 inches tall and 2 3/4 inches in diameter at the top. The condition is excellent. Price: sold
