Sampson Mordan & Company was founded in 1815
They became known for developing the first mechanism for propelling pencils in 1822.
In 1836 the company started making a range of high quality vesta cases and vinaigrettes.
They were renowned for excellent design and great quality.
These pieces are now highly collectable
Vinaigrettes were popular from the late 18th century through the end of the 19th century. They were small containers used for holding various aromatic substances, usually dissolved in vinegar. A tiny piece of sponge, soaked in the vinegar, was contained beneath a grill or perforated cover, it was sniffed to cover up the unpleasant smells of the time!
