Fanciful, well carved figural inkwell of a bulldog. I love the realism and the glass eyes.The inkwell is a darkly stained fruitwood carving of a bulldog. The carving is very fine down to the whisker dots on the muzzle. There are two inset glass eyes. The base has a realistic leather dog collar with metal plate for the name and a metal buckle in the front. The head opens at the doga€?s nose. A small brass hinge with four slotted screws joins the two halves. Inside there is a domed brass lid that opens to reveal a small glass ink bottle.MEASUREMENTS 2 7/8a€ (7.3 cm) tall x 3 ??a€ (8.3 cm) deep x 2 ??a€ (5.7 cm) wide. Weighs 4.6 oz (130 g)CONDITION There is wear on the base. There is a tiny chip near the edge on the top near the nose, which is difficult to see because it is on the edge. The carving is very good.A fun dog lovera€?s inkwell with much detail and thought. Good for an inkwell collection or a dog collection.___________________TTo receive special offers please sign up from the home page of our website bearandraven, the link for which can be found under favorite links on our Ruby Lane shop page.
