Austro Hungarian Silver inkwell(1881-1919)
A stunning round silver Austro Hungarian inkwell made by the illustrious silversmith Eduard Friedland betwen 1881and 1919.
Beautifully embossed sitting on 3 balled feet
Eduard Freidland executed designs by Rudolf Karger,Milla Weltman and by the architects Hans Bolek Emanuel Margold & Otto Prutscher
It is 10.5cm across with the inner hole 4.5cm across
Height:4 cm from bottom of balled feet
It weighs on my house scale 81 grams without the liner
Hallmarked with the Dinah head with A=Vienna
In a lovely condition with less than the usual scratches ,dinks or dents and no repairsfor an item of this age
Please note that the liner is unmarked porcelain & in my opinion does not appear to be the original liner,but i dont know.Maybe it is.
I can't make out the number for the fineness of silver as the punch marking is so small.It could well be a 1,if it is then the fineness is 950/1000
I have shown the hallmark so you can make up your own mind
Give it a nice polish and it will look stunning on your desk or in the display cabinet
A low start on a lovely piece aged between 90 and 128 years old
Happy Bidding
