This is a really beautiful late Georgian or early Victorian inkwell which we used as a candleholder a couple of times.

The little holes around the top were for the quills to stick in when not writing.

It is handpainted and the green colour was modern around ca.1840/50.

It may be Staffordshire made.

Scalloped design with panels of green garlands and flowers on white panels.

Finished with a golden stripe on the top and bottom of this lovely piece.

I will post this signed delivery
