Antique Double Inkwell Desk Set In Marble Effect Spongeware Pottery

This amazing vintage Antique Double Inkwell Desk Set In Marble Effect Spongeware Pottery has a real wow factor, despite some damage. Just the thing for the vintage themed office.

Approximate Size:-

  • Base:  26.4 x 17.5 x 4.5 cm
  • Bell Shaped Ink pot
    • Base diameter 8.2 
    • Height: 6cm
    • Lid diameter: 5.2cm 

In fair display condition it does have some issues which are only noticeable on closer inspection:-

  • The lid of one ink well is broken and has been 'repaired'
  • Other ink lid has a nibble around the rim 
  • There are other manufacturing related defects including Air bubbles and scratches

The price has been adjusted to reflect the level of defects.

It's incredibly heavy, (hence high postage cost), and comprises two detachable ceramic ink pots/wells with lids sat on a ceramic pen tray with four slightly raised feet. The sponge ware marble effect is a mix of brown/orange/grey/black/and white hues: it's incredibly striking!

The maker is unknown, as there are no distinguishing marks, but it dates to pre-1930s. This piece of Spongeware could also be late Victorian but I'm not absolutely sure...
