This souvenir inkstand is made from various seashells, with a clear glass inkwell at its center. The backdrop features a detailed hand painting of an early 20th-century steamship adorned with American flags. The ship’s multiple decks and chimneys suggest it might be an ocean liner or passenger ship from that era.
