This is a heavy inkwell (1.2 kg = 2.6 lb.) that has an elliptical black resin base that has been attached to a brass sheet with 4 ball feet. The well itself sits in a brass holder. It's flip top is made from the same black resin and the small knob handle is brass. The cut glass well is in perfect shape. On top of the resin base are carved two penholders. The base measures 17.5 cm (6.9 inches) at its widest point. The well is 5 X 4 X 5 cm (2 X 1.5 X 2 inches). Between the two parts of the base is the maker's label. Some of it is missing. What is readable is: 'Deutsches ...Glas AG Freden'. Freden is a town south of Hanover in northern Germany.
