This is the rose decoration embossed on the back of the inkwell belonging to my grandfather, C.E. Warren. The front carries his initials and there are ornamental silver dragons on each side. I was interested that my grandfather chose to combine the English rose with the typically Chinese chrysanthemum on the lid to express his dual loyalties.

Continuing the theme of Chinese flower symbolism that I mentioned earlier regarding the plum blossom border pattern on an antique wooden stand for a good luck plate, I was interested to see that my grandfather, Charles Warren had both the chrysanthemum, highly valued in China, and the English rose embossed on his inkwell. This photo shows the chrysanthemum on the lid of the inkwell. The inkwell seems to be made of ebony and silver and was a bequest to my father.
