This Austrian bronze inkstand features two bears in a naturalistic setting—one bear is climbing a tree, while the other stands on the ground. The base is designed to resemble rocky terrain with the inkwell blended into the design. The piece is marked “TUSCA,” and it also bears a foundry mark: the letter K inside an upside-down horseshoe.
Estimated value: $250
