19th Century Cobalt Glazed Ceramic Inkwell

Was excavating a 100+ year old area today and just as the sun began to set I discovered this amazing hand painted glazed ceramic inkwell. It appears to be a type used in the early 19th century for quill pens, though I am still not quite certain as to the proper name for this style of inkwell...
