Copper, silver-plated
12.5×17.8 cm
Artists
- Koloman Moser
(Vienna 1868–1918 Vienna)
- Wiener Werkstätte
Currently on display at OG4
The Ink Well is part of a writing set executed in 1903 by the Wiener Werkstätte to Koloman Moser’s (1868–1918) designs. The article of daily use is made especially appealing by its simple decor. Its only adornment is a decorative hammered finish, which was highly popular at the time and can also be found on the matching Quill Pen Cleaner and Paperweight. The object’s shape with six sharp points on the border and a raised part in the middle gives it an eccentric appearance that almost seems to recall Ottoman elements.
