A glass inkwell features a polished spherical body with a transparent upper section and a dense, smoky gray lower half. A deep cylindrical well is recessed into the top, descending toward the center. The smooth exterior is highly reflective, while the clear glass reveals the internal cavity. The heavy form rests on a flat surface, casting a dark, circular shadow directly beneath its tinted base.
