The inkwell is an example of late 19th-century French craftsmanship. The base is made of clear crystal, likely Baccarat, known for its high-quality and intricate designs. The crystal base is cut with precision, featuring elegant facets that catch and reflect light beautifully. The Cloisonné bronze lid is enameled with intricate floral designs. The background is a light blue with gold lines creating a mosaic-like pattern. The flowers are in various colors, including red, blue, and green, with detailed leaves and petals.
