Antique Utilitarian Heavy Glass Handblown Inkwell with Brass Lid

Add a touch of literary history to your desk or bookshelf with this substantial antique heavy-duty clear glass inkwell. Perfectly suited for a Dark Academia study or a Moody Vintage vignette, this piece features a thick, weighty glass base topped with a beautifully patinated brass collar and hinged lid. The authentic weathering on the metal and the timeless simplicity of the glass make it a versatile, classic decorative staple. While it looks brilliant displayed open alongside antique fountain pens, old letters, and weathered leather-bound books, these sturdy inkwells also serve wonderfully as unique, heavy-bottomed bud vases for a single dried rose or fresh stem. Whether utilized for its original scholarly purpose or repurposed as a charming floral accent, this authentic piece brings immediate character and a sense of enduring history to any carefully curated space.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
