French Vintage Natural Crystal Ink Well

Ink wells are containers used to hold ink, mainly used with quill pens and dipping pens, and were widely used before the 20th century, and antique desks and desk sets had built-in ink wells. The ink well set is made of high-quality wood as the baseplate, and there are two crystal ink wells of different depths, 1.5 cm and 2.5 cm. The crystal ink wells can be removed for cleaning, and the wooden base has curves on the four sides to place different pens. Many people who practice Western calligraphy use quill pens and dipping pens, and they need to dip the tip of the pen repeatedly in ink as they write, so the ink well is a must-have tool on the table. There are two benefits to using a quill pen and a dipping pen, you can easily switch the width of the various nibs and switch ink colours at will, as you only need to rinse the nib to immerse the new colour. If you like to write, you can also try using a quill pen and dipping pen to regain the feeling of writing.
