Ink stand c. 1777 - 1790

This 18th-century inkstand, made by the Porseleinfabriek Den Haag, exemplifies the refined taste of Dutch porcelain production. Composed of a central bell-shaped inkwell, two candlesticks, and a tray, the set boasts intricate floral motifs and delicate gilded accents, typical of the Rococo style. The white porcelain, hand-painted with delicate pink and purple hues, serves as a testament to the skill of Dutch porcelain artists. This inkstand would have been a valued possession, serving both practical and decorative purposes in elite households during the late 18th century.
