Victorian stoneware inkwell found in the Thames by me a few years ago. Known as a ‘Penny Pot’ or ‘Pork Pie’, these would have been filled with black ink and sealed with a cork. Dickens would have written his novels, staring out of the window, plotting his books, one of these beauties on his desk. Always a joy to find a complete old inkwell in the river though that doesn’t happen as much these days #Mudlark #Mudlarking #RiverThames #Victorian #Inkwell #PennyPot #PorkPie
