This inkwell features a globe (with the inkwell inside) on tripod legs surrounded by three porcelain dog figurines, each wearing black collars with bells. The dogs are positioned with their backs towards the center, appearing to hold up the inkwell. Due to the stylized nature of the dog figurines, it is challenging to identify the exact breed – a terrier of some sort, or a pug.
