Chinese Lacquer Porcelain and Silver Inkwell

About the Item

Our charming inkwell features a finely sculpted porcelain foo dog standing on lacquered wooden panel with two silver ink vessels with their original porcelain cups.  Hinge of one well is broken, but does rest nicely on its vessel and certainly could be repaired by a silversmith.  Hardware is missing from the screw affixing one silver vessel. Silver has impressed maker or assay mark, heavily worn and not yet deciphered. Additional images available upon request.
