3-1/2" Solid Polished Brass Nautical Captain's Inkwell

Similar to those used on ships, swinging lids on inkwells were used to prevent spilling ink during rough seas. Perfect for vintage-look or nautical home decor and/or functional as a desk accessory for home or office. Please note: These are beautiful reproductions, but not meant for professional-quality ink storage. Inkwells are not airtight and may leak if tipped. • 3-1/4" base, 4" tall from base top • Solid, lacquered, polished brass • Swinging swivel top • Vintage, nautical home decor and/or functional as a desk accessory for home or office for fountain pen ink. • Due to traditional craftsmanship, slight character-enhancing imperfections may be visible • Quill not included.
