This azure blue inkstand features a triangular base holding two cut three-sided crystal inkwells with faceted lids and hinged brass mounts. The faceted base incorporates a pen channel. On obelisk-shaped sealer (missing its thermometer) completes the set. The inkstand glows under a black light, possibly due to manganese content.
