This piece features a fine white porcelain body elegantly decorated with a delicate blue floral pattern. Unlike standard travel inkwells encased in leather or plain metal, this version utilizes the decorated porcelain itself as the main reservoir body. The top features a brass lid stamped with the authentic makers validation: \"ENCRIER PORTATIF - T. H. PARIS\". T.
