Inkwell c. 1937

This watercolor drawing by American artist Charles Caseau depicts a stoneware inkwell made by C. Crolius, a stoneware manufacturer based in Manhattan Wells, New York. Created around 1937, this work showcases Caseau’s interest in industrial design, capturing the details of the inkwell’s form and the inscription on its side. While the inkwell is the primary subject, a smaller, line drawing of the inkwell labeled "Fountain" is also included in the composition.
