inkpots
Calligrapher's small containers
Inkpots are small containers designed to hold ink for writing with a pen or quill.
Before the ballpoint pen, inkpots sat on desks and were dipped into repeatedly: The clerk's inkpot was nearly empty.
The word now evokes old-fashioned writing scenes or appears in historical contexts.
