About the Item

Vintage French Porcelain Figurine Inkwell from the 1970s This charming and authentic vintage porcelain figurine, originating from France in the 1970s, is a unique blend of decorative art and functional design. Crafted from unglazed porcelain, often referred to as bisque, the piece features a beautifully detailed figure standing beside what serves as an inkwell or pen holder. The figurine depicts a person, possibly a young woman or boy, in period dress holding a book or scroll, with an elegant and placid expression. The inkwell component is cleverly integrated into the form of a hollowed-out tree stump, adding a rustic yet refined touch to the design. This unbranded piece is in good vintage condition, though it does show some signs of age and wear. Noted wear includes minor damage on the underside, small chips, and some black stains, all of which are visible in the provided photographs and are consistent with its age. This delightful and functional figurine would be a perfect addition to a vintage desk, a collectible display cabinet, or a decorative accent in any room. 3.
