Alabaster Powder Dispenser
An alabaster powder dispenser, made in Tuscany, featuring an elegant cylindrical body. The clean, linear lines of the structure are enhanced and balanced at both ends by a double molded bevel that serves as both a structural and aesthetic finish.
The central surface bears an inscription:
"COMPANY FOUNDED BY A BENEFACTOR
FROM VOLTERRA, 1795"
This object, originally intended to hold powder (or sand) for drying ink on manuscripts, stands out not only for the high quality of craftsmanship typical of the Volterra tradition.
