18thc Staffordshire Red-ware Pottery: Navy boat Inkwell

Antiques : Accessories : Writing Items

 

Fine red-ware inkwell, a pottery with a superb glaze in MINT condition (no wear, no stripe, no restoration, only to mention could be a light fire crack hidden inside, as often on this 18thc fragile fired materials and a little chip on the border). Modeling is pure, shape is wonderful to see: under tray with its vegetable shaped handles, ink-pot, sand-box and pen-holder are decorate in relief with acanthus leaves. A little wonder ! Dimensions: 3-1/2"H x 9-1/2". It is a British pottery (Staffordshire working ?), Circa 1780, that we guarantee.
