From the Victorian era to the Edwardian era, it became a symbol of status in the study rooms of upper and middle-class gentlemen, and with the spread of silver plate, it spread to a wider range of people. The honeysuckle decoration on this item is a time-honored motif that originates from classical architecture, and is often used in British crafts from this period as a sign of authority and class. The stemmed cup in the center is thought to have been used as a sealing wax receptacle or as a pen wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot only can it be used as an ink stand, but in modern times it is perfect as an interior decoration for a study or work desk.
