This faience inkstand, mounted in silver, was designed to hold pens in the basin and to hold pots of ink above. Three coats of arms are shown on the inkstand: two lions support shields displaying the arms of the city of Leiden on the left and of Delft on the right. The large coat of arms of Prince William III of Orange is flanked by the motto: ‘vijva oranie’ (Long live Orange).
