An amusing ceramic inkwell in the form of a gypsy’s head. He has ginger hair and a moustache, blue eyes, grey earrings, and a green bandana. His cheeks are ruddy, and the mouth forms the opening for the ink. In front of his mouth his hand is stretched out with two fingers raised. The crook of the fingers forms an ideal rest for a pen or quill.
Estimated value: $125
