Staffordshire Pottery Figural Pounce or Pepper Pot
About the Item
A delightful novelty antique English pottery figure of a man pounce or pepper pot dating from Staffordshire and dating from the 19th century. The pottery figure stands raised on a rounded base and portrays a portly man dressed in period costume wearing breaches, waistcoat and jacket with a bow tied neckerchief. He wears a tricorn hat on his head which contains the pouring holes for the pot. The hollow bodied man has a filling hole to his lower back. The figure is hand painted in typical Staffordshire style with loosely applied detail. The pouring holes are quite large and therefore we believe the piece is probably a desk item for pounce (fine powder for drying ink). The figure is not marked.
Provenance: Acquired in the UK Art Market.
The figure is offered in good presentable condition with a tiny flat nick to the underside of the base rim which does not impact and mentioned for accuracy only. Overall a delightful figure.
