Pictured are two similar inkwells featuring sterling silver on bronze with a floral / foliate Art Nouveau design. One is only marked “Sterling” within the overlay on the lid. The other is marked on the underside “Art Crafts Shop” which later became Heintz. These are early examples of Heintz use of sterling overlay.
The first inkwell pictured sold for $192 in December 2023
