This Black Forest inkstand features a carved bear standing on its hind legs with its front paws raised, giving the impression that it’s dancing. The bear is intricately detailed, with careful attention to the texture of its fur. The inkstand includes two clear glass inkwells with metal lids, positioned on either side of the bear. These inkwells are set into a dark wooden base.
