An inkwell is a small container used to hold ink, typically found on desks or writing surfaces before the invention of modern pens. It allows for the dipping of a quill or fountain pen into ink to write. Inkwells were commonly made of glass, metal, or ceramic and often had a lid to prevent the ink from spilling. They were commonly used by writers, scholars, and scribes, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries, when dip pens were the standard writing tools. Today, inkwells are often considered decorative or collectible items.
