    can't be an inkwell, without a seal....or tight closure....right ?

    Looks like a bad design for an inkwell but a good one for a mustard pot. You just need the little spoon to go with it.

    Ink dries out unless it's in a sealable container.

    Fourthed or fifthed - mustard pot or similar, missing its insert. No good at all for ink.

    Sixth! Mustard pot. Inkwell would have a tighter sealing lid and no hole.
