Yes, I know your grandparents probably used inkwells ‘back in the days’ of their schooling but a surprising number of individuals still prize the art of fountain pen use, usually of the cartridge or the converter/aerometric filler variety. But many still practice the art of writing with a dipping pen - the feather quill type used by folks who wrote the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and other founding documents but also modern metal nib or glass fountain pens. Writing with such an instrument provides a relaxing and aesthetically pleasing product.
Inkwells were, and still are, a practical way to keep a ready supply of ink on hand, especially if you prefer using different colors of ink for different occasions. I used to use such multiple color inks when writing personal Thank You notes to customers of our business. Those notes made many folks smile !
The silver-lidded frosted-glass item was made for that purpose and was purchased at a stationary store in Washington, D.C.
The other two were bought in the state of Tamil Nadu, southern India at a local market and were originally used to hold perfumes for ladies. There is fine ornamentation on each of these two jars.
All have secure lids. The blue jar uses a hinge to open, the frosted glass one’s top unscrews, and the cornelian colored one simply lifts up.
These could also be used as beautiful accessories on a woman’s dresser or vanity area, even if they didn’t hold perfumes, or possibly also as vessels for very small pierced earrings, smaller chain type bracelets, or perhaps other very small things which are easy to misplace.
