This is certainly an unusual traveling inkwell with beautifully turned Rosewood still in spectacular condition. <p>Originating in the Georgian town of Tunbridge Wells, Kent, visitors began buying wooden souvenirs from the woodworkers of surrounding areas such as Tonbrige and Speldhurst.<p>During the 1830's James Burrows developed the tessellated mosaic technique which became the most well known type of Tunbridge Ware. This piece dates to around 1860.<p>The lid screws on and off with ease and the interior reveals the original metal liner with years of dried on ink.<p>A most unusual desk accessory for your collection in excellent condition. The base has a diameter measuring 1 1/2" and the inkwell stands 1 7/8" tall.
