About this work
Tin inkstand. The square outer pot stands on a profiled foot that transitions into rounded walls. Diagonally placed on top is a band with two openings for pens. On either side of the band, a triangular tray can be placed: an inkwell with a bell-shaped lid and a double-hinged joint, and on the other side, a sand tray that is openwork on the top and has a knob.
