Art Deco Pen Drying Stand

This is a stand to aid in cleaning fountain pens. Once you have flushed the majority of the ink residue from your pen, you can place a paper towel or other suitable cloth under this stand, fill your pen with water, and set it carefully nib down to drain the pen. The center hole is large enough to allow you to angle the pen properly to hold the nib on the paper.

It's Art Deco because - well, it's art deco.
