It is hand-painted with brilliant, glossy polychrome enamel featuring striking cobalt blue, fiery orange, bright yellow, and deep green accents. The base boasts an encrusted "confetti" or "coleslaw" textured clay detailing, common to the era, complete with a central well designed to store ink or hold a writing quill. Unmarked as is typical for authentic Victorian Staffordshire desk accessories from this period, this delightful piece adds an authentic splash of English cottage-core charm to any modern office desk, bookshelf, or ceramic collection. I love the vibrant colors. See less
