A selection of the patterns would also be quite nice framed up

This one is made all the more surreal by the screws and bolts all over

Lovely 19th Century Hand-painted French Faience Blotter in Blue and Yellow library cards and converted to an activeI found this ink blotter in PA but I believe it is 19th century, hand painted French faience. None too often that most of us use an ink blotter these days, but I thought the decoration on it so pretty I couldn't resist, and it would certainly make a good paper weight, with the benefit of a nice handle for moving it around and setting it down. Plus rocking it back and forth might calm ones nerves! And, really, why not pick up and ink pen and use it!??
