Sold for: £5
The inkwell features a polished exterior with a hinged lid, secured by a push-button spring-release mechanism and latch. The interior houses a removable glass scent bottle with a ground neck. The integrated stopper is surmounted by a detailed cast figure of a cat seated beside a sundial on a textured rocky base. This figural group sits atop a square pedestal, which is hand-engraved on one face with the inscription: Oh, sundial! Who countest. The underside of the pedestal base is lined with a dark blue material. The item is constructed from silver-plated base metal, with no visible hallmarks or maker’s marks.
