It is a beautiful example of Rococo. Eventually I hope it will end up on a little desk, but for now it adds a little warmth to the Salon.

Isn't it a great inkstand? ...Thank you Betsy! Isn't it a great inkstand? It didn't photograph that well because of the reflections, in reality it is even more beautiful. There are dolphins and sea creatures on there with such fantastic detail! The original was made in 1744 by John Edwards. As for the three cups...the one on the left and right are actual cups, and I am quite sure these were used for ink and for pounce. The one in the middle actually isn't a pot, but a small cupped tray, held up by three dolphins. To be honest I don't know what it is for. These inkstands often had a quill holder in the middle, or a candle holder (to melt the wax), but in this case it is neither of those I think. If I don't forget I'll ask Jens Torp if he knows.

Of course this time of year it is just gloomy and cold, although we did see the sun today. I don't mind the cold if it is clear and frosty, you know, skating weather. But now it is just rainy and around 5 degrees. Blah. So I'll just close the curtains and crank up the heat ;-) We'll both stay inside!Josjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587534499301417219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275753351085839545.post-91497302640427391052013-12-18T17:10:29.098+01:002013-12-18T17:10:29.098+01:00Grazie Blanche.
