Before the invention of the fountain pen all correspondence would be done using a dip pen and ink. Inkwells came in all shapes and sizes and for all pockets, from the humble stone bottle to the wonderfully ornate bronze and silver inkwells
 
This is an English brass double inkwell complete with ceramic liners.
 
All in good condition.
 
Dimensions: 15cm in length x 9.5cm deep x 5cm high
