Against the restrained silver form, it adds a subtle, almost jewellery-like detail. Opening the lid reveals a beautifully preserved gilded interior, with remarkably little wear or loss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe hallmarks inside the lid remain crisp and clearly legible, confirming its Birmingham origin and 1922 date. A maker's mark is also present, though too worn to identify with certainty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original glass liner is currently missing, and we are sourcing a suitably sized replacement to restore the inkwell's original function. A small reminder that even the most practical desk objects were once made with beauty in mind. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"notion-enable-hover\"\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e T.C.C is currently sourcing a replacement glass liner, and the final price may vary depending on whether one is included.
