Pelikan pen stand

[Dragan]

Good day, I recently came into possession of this pelican pen stand. Can anyone date it?
Thank you

That is a good looking one. @Dragan Where did you find it? Looks like an older one from the 1930's

Local flea market.

I ask about determining the age because I never seen a stand with such a base, square on a square. Usually, the base is a stepped structure.

There is some information about these pen stands on
https://thepelikansperch.com/2017/03/12/pelikan-ceramic-pen-stands/

 

While there is not a photo of one in the same particular colour-scheme as yours, that page also contains links to other sources of information about them.

 

It may also be worth your while to contact the website’s owner, who is @sargetalon here.

That is a very nice find! These pen stands were available to dealers only, so they do not appear in Pelikan catalogs and therefore dating them is a challenge. The Pelikan book by Heinz Rings mentions that the yellow pen stand was introduced in 1936. The typeface that is seen on the front of your pen stand was introduced in 1938. And the pen stand of this particular design is still shown in a Pelikan dealer publication from March 1950.

@Dragan That's a very cool stand you found.  I have a few of the small modern ones (where the pen rest is the base) -- white glazed, metallic gold glazed, and dark blue glazed (someday I hope to find a metallic silver glazed one without it costing me an arm and a leg and the other arm  and lucked into a large (modern) blue glazed one at a pen show a few years ago for not a completely huge amount of money.  But this is the first time I've ever seen an early/vintage one.
