The item comprises an almond-shaped base (approximately 195 × 130 × 30 mm), surmounted by a 120 mm-high figure of W.G. Grace standing between two glass inkpots with silver lids, and a two-part stand for pens.

The decorated rim of the base is slightly bumped; in excellent condition, albeit a little tarnished.
