In comparison to the small inkwell or decorative inkstand placed on the desk ready to receive a writer’s dipped pen, the master ink bottle was a large container. It was used to hold bulk ink, sometimes in a concentrated form to be diluted before using. These bottles, often with pouring spouts and produced in a variety of sizes, were then used to refill smaller inkwells.

In addition to its remarkable cargo of many inkstands, the SS Republic carried over two hundred “master inks.” More than half are unembossed clear, amber, or green glass bottles, in several sizes. Most feature a pouring lip, distinctive to this bottle type and useful for the clean and efficient dispensing of fluid ink.
