This is a large and wonderful antique sterling silver inkwell, one of those heavy ornate Victorian examples which are a joy to look at for their richness and opulence of design, and complete with a generous silver overhang covering half its cut crystal/glass body. It is fully hallmarked with the anchor for the assay town of Birmingham struck horizontally to denote pre 1900 small silver items, the lion passant for the sterling standard guarantee, and the date letter 'v' for the year 1895.
