An inkwell features a squat glass body divided into vertical lobes, topped with a circular, gold-toned bronze lid. Horizontal, wavy pinkish-purple lines wrap around the translucent glass, which contains tiny air bubbles. These rounded forms project outward from the center, resting on a wide, flat base. Light reflects off the metallic lid and the bulging glass, highlighting the contrast between the smooth metal and the veined pattern of the vessel.
