The inkwell has its original ceramic pot inside. This is in good condition - and has a gold gilt rim.
The inkwell lid is hinged and tilts backwards. The only decoration is the inset Ruskin style ceramic cabouchon on the lid. This is also in excellent condition with no damage.
I love the shape of this inkwell when held so that you can view it side on - it is finely made. I love the little stepped foot.
Height 2 ¼ inches. Diameter is 3 ¾ inches. The foot has a diameter of 1 ¾ inches and the Ruskin Cabouchon is 1 ¾ inches.
The inkwell has no maker's mark or signature. I have been unable to find another one following this design - so it is quite a rare survivor.
Postage will be with Royal Mail Tracked. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
