Thank you Rick ... good shot. 
You are obviously right. 
I was silly i didn't think twice, i should have figured this one myself, if i first reread my own little resources in the subject. Not only priming flasks contained finer powder, as also prevailled in use for priming the casserole ( pan ) even when pre-packed  charges were already carried in units ( later cartridges ) for the bullit loads. 
Thank you Ward 
Would you guess an age on my piece ? 19th century ?
