Lot 121: A Sterling Silver and Cut-Glass Desk Inkstand, Birmingham, Date Letter 'e', Maker's Mark 'CACA'
A sterling silver and cut-glass desk inkstand, comprising an oval, footed silver tray supporting a central faceted glass inkwell with a hinged silver lid. Hallmarks visible on both the inkwell collar and the tray confirm sterling silver, identifying the Birmingham assay office, a date letter ‘e’, and a maker’s mark, “CACA” (or similar, partially obscured on the tray). The faceted glass and simple, elegant silver form suggest a late 19th or early 20th-century period.
Length: 15.5 cm
