Lot Description

An Old English paperweight inkwell in the manner of Arculus, the dome form body with concentric bands of millefiori in white, pink and pale green, centred by a larger white and pale green lobed cane, with a stopper, 5.75" (14.5cm) high.



Postage: Auction Default

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

With some scratching and pitting to surface, and few very small captive bubbles, mould line one inch above the foot.


Stopper with captive bubbles and flaws, and scratching and pitting to surface.


Design to the finial of the stopper is slightly different to that of inkwell, and the diameter of the bung is smaller than the neck of the bottle. However this is consistent with the literature of paperweight inkwell stoppers.
