About the Item

Colorful faience inkwell featuring hand-painted floral motifs in red, green, and blue, with finely detailed gilt brass lids topped by fleur-de-lis finials. The inkwell includes removable brass and glass liners, and a central well—likely for quills or sand shaker. A charming example of decorative yet functional 19th century deskware.
