Small, antique, brass inkwell with a raised/chased, arabesque design. It is 4-3/4″ wide, 4-1/2″ front to back and about 2-1/2″ tall. The hinged lid raises smoothly. The bowl is scalloped around the edges. There are a couple of dark spots in the bowl. The lid has a knob and raised decoration surrounding it. It has a beautiful, natural patina. I did not attempt to polish. The inkwell would have had a glass insert originally that is now long gone. The opening to the inkwell is about 1-3/8″ in diameter. The bottom has a mark that looks like C with a fancy X over it.
