NEW YORK, FIRST QUARTER OF THE 20TH CENTURY A circular inkwell featuring an oval jade medallion depicting a bird surrounded by flowers, which forms the hinged lid; when opened, it reveals a gilded silver interior. The inkwell is set within a red-flamed porcelain base bearing a fake Kangxi mark, resting on an openwork gilded silver base (showing wear) with Oriental-inspired motifs. Signed on the lid: Edward I. FARMER, New York, and the inscription STERLING Gross weight: 508 g Edward I. FARMER (1872–1942), a collector in his youth, brought back numerous ancient jade pieces from the East.
