Item Details
Here is an outstanding example of the splendid design capabilities of the early Victorians. This inkstand was never meant to be a workaday object but was intended simply to sit happily on a desktop and look gorgeous. And it does. The luscious background color is offset by leafy English oak branches in light yellow that are molded into the surface and glazed in color, along with scrolls to highlight the rim. The surface of the tray has two square white reserves decorated with bouquets and outlined with gilded scrolls. The two ornate pots have three panels of white with bouquets of flowers and are topped by scroll-tipped rims. The central candlestick has molded scrolls and is painted with flowers. Everywhere you look there is a vibrant effect. And it is complete, with no missing pieces. It is also large, with the tray at thirteen inches long and over nine inches wide. This inkstand doesn’t sit quietly in the background. It shouts at you! Condition is excellent, with no chips. Museum accession numbers on the bottoms. One pot has been reglued and the repairs repainted, and the tray has two stabilized firing cracks, visible only on the bottom. A bit of gilding wear. Very hard to find in this condition.

Return Policy
You may initiate a return of this item within 3 days of delivery.Note: EU/UK buyers are entitled to a return period of 14 days, regardless of the seller's policy.
Shipping, Handling, Insurance Policy
We ship and track all items via the US Postal Service unless we agree on a different method. Insurance coverage is required. Ruby Lane's system offers a maximum of $1,000 insurance coverage, so we do not use it. We use USPS, which has coverage up to $5000. For US purchases, shipping/insurance is added automatically to the invoice before it is sent to you. For foreign purchases, shipping/insurance is calculated after the sale.To insure large items like tea sets, several packages may be needed, because USPS limits its insurance coverage to $5,000 per package. For example, to get full coverage on a $10,000 tea set, we would send it in two boxes. We will work to arrange shipping details to the buyer's satisfaction.
