Description

This exceptional antique French porcelain, silver and glass inkwell has been modelled in the form of a seated oriental figure holding a frog.

The spotted frog has a hinged hallmarked silver gilt cover surmounted with a lily pad and flower design.

The cover has a scrolling thumbpiece to the anterior surface of the rim, which pivots to reveal the removable glass ink pot.

The porcelain figure has detailed red painted designs to his coat with a large blue and white draped tasselled hood, which could be used as a receptacle for stamps.

The figure is seated on a shaped mirrored plateau with a hallmarked French silver gilt decorated border and base.

The base is supported by four bun feet.

Andrew Campbell started trading in antiques during the 1970s. Initially, Andrew lived in the South of England, travelling the country, searching for items of silver to buy. Andrew sold these items at various London markets and antique fairs. Over time, and through selling at a range of venues, Andrew built up a large and diverse customer base from private buyers to national and international trade customers.
