OATMEAL BOXES
This box for oatmeal was one of only three recorded by the Earl in his The Particulars of my Plate and its Weight and would have contained homemade soap or cosmetic cream made from oatmeal; the boxes were for storage and the seven 'oatmeal plates' for use. In their exhaustive and scholarly study of the Earl's silver, Lomax and Rothwell, op. cit., pp. 102-103 note that it was unlikely that the oatmeal boxes and plates were for the storage of oatmeal for consumption, as at this time in wealthy households oatmeal was only used as animal feed. There are contemporary references to pomatum or powder boxes, but these are usually found as part of a complete toilet service, and to complicate matters further the inventory also lists a 'Hand Powder Box', which formed part of the Earl's personal 'chamber plate', sold Christie's, London, 27 April 1995, lot 85.
