Quimper double ink well Is there another French name for this pottery piece

I've search all morning for another name for this item. I thought that it was referred to as a soliel or something similar? I had research it about a month ago and came to that conclusion, but now searching this morning I came up blank. It not all that important but its got me. Also it has 3 slots but shoud it still be called a double ink well? .

 

Well, encrier is French for inkwell. Could that be what you're looking for?

 

All the ones in this shape on worthpoint are called double inkwells or inkstands. The center is a rectangle and had no insert, but there was a lid. Someone speculated it's for quills, but my knowledge of inkwells is nil. I do know yours is missing the two pots, plus the three lids.

 

Oh la la!

 

Wow tat one is Really Nice
