About the Item

This sterling silver inkwell conjures memories of a time when letter writing was an art and people waited for letters from loved ones with anticipation. The lid has an Art Nouveau motif and lifts upwards. The base is square and has a flat bottom. This would look great as a paperweight or just as a desk accessory.
