This treen inkwell is designed to resemble a quaint cottage. It features a conical roof with textured lines to simulate thatch, painted in shades of brown. The body of the cottage is cylindrical with painted details such as windows, a door, a figure in traditional clothing, and foliage in red and green hues on an off-white background. The base is circular and painted green to represent the ground or grass. When the removable top that forms the roof is lifted, one can access a cobalt blue inkwell.
