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 a Victoain brass inkwell with a white pottery liner, perfect for a small ladies desk.
 
In good condition.
 
Dimensions: 10cm square x 6cm high
