Antique English Staffordshire Deer Inkwell, Circa 1850

A striking 19th-century Staffordshire deer inkwell, made circa 1850 and painted in a rich cobalt glaze with fawn detailing. These sculptural inkwells were prized for both form and function—serving as elegant additions to English writing desks. As with most early Staffordshire wares, it’s handmade and unsigned, with charming firing quirks that speak to its small-batch origin. A refined addition for collectors of Staffordshire figures or antique writing accoutrements.
