A beautifully crafted ceramic inkwell, in a rarely seen heart shaped design. Hand painted with sweet florals and greenery, on a glazed white exterior. The lid is painted with the s ame floral pattern, and would have held the ink, while the three holes would have been used as storage for quills. We think now it would make the sweetest bud vase, or pretty complement to a shelf or vignette. It features a makers mark on the underside, and is overall in beautiful antique condition. dimensions: 5"W x 4.5"D x 3.5"H Show more
