McCLELLAND BARCLAY Ectasy Head Ink Blotter

McCLELLAND BARCLAY Ectasy Head Ink Blotter

This is a very Art Deco-looking desk accessory with its decoration of a woman's head with wind-blown hair. The gold plated raised head stands out from the bronze plated finish on the base. It is intended to be an ink blotter, necessary when fountain pens were used. This accessory was part of the Ecstasy Head line of home décor products. This item is a useful paper weight.
