A cut glass and silver inkwell features a spherical cap atop a cylindrical base. The silver cap depicts embossed scrolling vines surrounding a raised inscription reading "C 1893." A smooth silver collar connects the cap to a clear glass body covered in a dense diamond-cut pattern. Wide, diagonal channels swirl around the circumference of the base.
