Pewter Inkwell c. 1936

This detailed pencil drawing of a pewter inkwell by Salvatore Borrazzo, created around 1936, captures the intricate design of the object. The inkwell's hinged lid is open, revealing two inkwells and a central compartment. This design drawing is likely a preparatory work for a larger piece, as evidenced by the detailed measurements and annotations on the paper. The drawing's focus on functionality and craftsmanship highlights Borrazzo's interest in the intersection of art and industrial design, a theme explored in his work throughout his long career.
