    20210521_192209.jpg Bought this little pot today, I believe it may be a quill holder. Any idea of its age, is it staffordshire?
    It has no discernable markings.

    I wonder if you could show a couple of other angles and the bottom. All I can think of from that angle is a severed head from the French Revolution.

    Hi, sorry for delay, been out treasure hunting for mine and my wife's vintage business.
    Here's some other shots of the old girl.

    Looks like an ashtray to me. We've had others of that basic design.

    Hi, reckon it's too old to be an ashtray. But good suggestion, thanks.

    It looks correct for a novelty Staffordshire head inkwell/quill holder to me but this is not really my area of expertise so wait for other opinions. Very interesting!
