The inkwell is in very good order although there is some very good restoration. Both of the inkwells have been restored and the tail of the right hand dolphin, as you look at the piece, has been restored. The only damage that has been identified is a small chip to the underside rim of the base. The base is marked F and 57 to the underside along with the mark which is illustrated. Other than the restoration, the liners are both in good condition but there are no lids.
