Description

This is a great example of a 19th century pill silverer
Turned from boxwood with a threaded lid. Both the condition and colour/patina are very good. Note they usually have stems, this one has a flat base and is smaller than most. It also has a lot of the silver inside it, showing it has been used.
Pill silverers were used once the pills had been formed and dried, they were dampened with mucilage of accia and mixed with silver leaf. The spherical pill silverer was then shaken in a rotary movement until all the pills were coated in silver. C1850/60.
It only measures 8cm h x 5.2cm w.
