The Antique Royal Crown Derby Figural Inkwell is a stunning piece with figural handles, featuring heavily gilded painted birds, leaves and flowers on a rich ruby red background. I believe that sometime in the 20th century this was converted from a covered urn and plate to this configuration of an inkwell with attached under plate. It was done beautifully and professionally with the utmost care not to damage the pieces. It measures 9″ across and approx 6 1/2″ high. Originating from the United Kingdom, this vintage inkwell exudes elegance and craftsmanship. Perfect for collectors of fine porcelain or those interested in historical writing instruments, this item would make a unique and luxurious addition to any collection. It will be well wrapped for a safe arrival.
