Our reproductions are hand turned wood, and feature a black painted surface and a glass bottle insert to hold the ink. As the original, the top has two holes for storing your writing utensils and it is finished off with a copy of the original label on the underside. Suitable for a wide range of impressions spanning the last 3 quarters of the 19th century. Add one of our top quality writing pens to your inkwell purchase and save! For filling these we recommend a pipette, eye dropper or syringe.
