Inkwells were a necessity until the recent (relitively) invention of the ball point pen. Since they were used by everyone who could write they were manufactured in an incredable variety. Not all were glass, but there are enough glass inkwells I thought a network of glass sites would be incomplete without them.
From a Search Eninge Optimization (SEO) standpoint, products that cross several thematic boundaries like inkwells is very useful. They provide a nice, logical bridge between glass, silver, and porcelain antiques websites because inkwells were made from all of these.
We have started to explore the wonderful world of inkwells at Inkwells.biz but it needs more work to make it the valuable reference for inkwell identification and valuation which we plan.
In the meantime, here are three of the inkwells currently for sale.
