About the Item

A stylish French Art Deco pottery inkstand with a seated child in a pierrot clown dress by Jean de la Fontinelle (1900-1974) and dating from around 1930. The pottery inkstand shows a young child in thought and sat on a wall with lidded inkwells to either side and with a pen rest at his feet.

The inkwell liners are missing. In good condition with a couple of very minor glaze chips.
