Ceramic Lady’s Inkwell with Saucer – Gold and Blue Trim

Collectibles : Writing Instruments : Inkwells

 

Here we have a simple but very sweet lady’s inkwell, coming to you from the turn of the last century. Its subtly scalloped shape is mirrored by the attached saucer. An interesting counterpoint is the more geometric detailing on both the inkwell and saucer, which consists of gold trim and little blue flowers.

The inkwell base measures 4” by 3 1/4". The inkwell is about 2” tall. Condition is very good, with no chips, cracks or scratches in the ceramic. The painted flowers and gold detailing is all intact, but the edge trim has worn off in places, particularly at the points. The hinge on this little beauty is tight; the lid is slightly off center but sits snugly on the base when closed.

This is a delicate inkwell that will bring a smile to anyone’s face!
