Re: Ink Pot? Candle Holder????
Are you sure it is not white marble?
Did it have anything inside it, like old wax or a dark stain?
I believe this is an inkwell, just missing a cork. Candleholders for individual candles would have some way of preventing the wax from dripping onto one's hand. And would not slip into something else.
However, an inkwell, would have to slip into the hole of, say, an old-fashioned school desk.
