The Royal arms are those of King George III (r.1760-1820).
The second coat of arms are those of Stewart quartering another with Hobart in pretence for the diplomat and statesman Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh, later 2nd Marquess of Londonderry (1769-1822) and his wife Amelia (Emily), daughter of John Hobart, 2nd Earl of Buckinghamshire, whom he married in 1794.

The inkstand was probably acquired by Castlereagh as a perquisite of office during his time as Secretary of State for War and the Colonies under Pitt.
