Small clear glass inkwell styled after the writing desk accessories commonly used during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Inkwells of this type were once standard fixtures on school desks, office counters, and personal writing tables during the fountain pen and dip pen era.
The faceted glass form reflects the practical yet decorative design of traditional desk inkwells, intended to hold bottled ink for everyday correspondence and record keeping. Pieces like this are often used today as desk décor or paired with antique-style writing accessories.
