It features full hallmarks indicating it was assayed in London in 1903, with the lion passant mark signifying sterling silver. The hinged lid also has a partial hallmark. The base of the inkwell is adorned with twelve evenly spaced floral motifs. These embossed flowers have petal-like designs radiating outward.
