Hand-Carved Bulldog Inkwell

It is unsigned but presumed to have been made in Germany, circa 1900

Hinged wooden inkwell looks like a Bulldog or Boston Terrier, realistic details from all sides.

The dog's head opens to reveal a cavity that would hold an ink bottle.

In very good condition especially for the age!

Information is garnered from several websites.
