penholder

Writing tool receptacle

A penholder is a device for holding a pen—either a stand or rack that keeps pens accessible on a desk, or the handle into which a detachable nib is inserted for writing.

The latter meaning survives mainly among calligraphers and artists who use dip pens: She fitted a flexible nib into the wooden penholder.
