This accessory is embellished with enamel motifs on a black background, representing colorful illustrations on the theme of nature: flowers and foliage intertwine on the lid of the receptacle, while butterflies and a bird frolic in the flowering branches on the penholder.
The receptacle, originally intended for ink, has a lid with a pine cone-shaped pull knob. It is screwed onto a round hollowed-out base on top of the penholder, which is itself rectangular in shape and decorated with scrolls on its sides. Its central part, slightly sunken, allowed to collect the ink residues escaping from the calligraphy tool.
This inkwell, which can be diverted from its initial use by serving as a small pocket, for example, will make a charming decorative object for the room you assign to it.
