Ornate silver shaker (pounce box), ex-1715 Fleet. 313 grams. 2¾" cube. A very rare silver relic that is as beautiful and functional as the day it was made, with intact and unblemished lateral embossed designs and finely engraved details in the lid (separate), just a tiny corner-chip in the lid and verdigris in one corner of the undecorated inside of the box, the lid designed with eighteen small holes in a floral pattern in a concave circle on the top for sprinkling a fine powder (pounce) over fresh manuscripts to prevent the ink from bleeding and smearing, truly one of the finest silver artifacts recovered from any Spanish wreck but particularly from the 1715 Fleet. From the 1715 Fleet, with Queens Jewels LLC photo-certificate F040818 (tag 77225) and thirteen-page dissertation about its design and conservation.
