Note du spécialiste

This inkstand takes the form of the spice boxes found from the late 16th to early 17th centuries. The interior of such boxes were usually divided into two compartments sometimes accompanied by a small spoon, which originally fitted into the smaller compartment (P. Glanville, Silver in Tudor and Early Stuart England, London, 1990, pp. 366-367, fig. 219.)
