Description

The majority of the original ceramic glaze is still present, giving this piece a lovely caramel hue.

PEDIGREE :

Accompanied with old artifact tag, attributing it to the Santa Leocadia (sunk November 7th, 1800), found by M. Meylachon.

Its cargo is therefore substantial. According to Julio Estrada, quoted by Mariano Sánchez, captain of the frigate in passive service, the ship was carrying 1,250,000 pesos, gold and silver coins, which are now prized by numismatists. Read the article

COMMENTS :

This beautiful little artifact stands as a fully intact ink well that could have been used for a variety of maritime business, such as map-making from a cartographer, recording the crew and cargo on board, or by the Captain for official correspondences.
