Glass inkwell silver round top (c. 1850s)
Very heavy cut glass square inkwell with silver (plated?) top.
The glass is beautifully shaped with wave pattern - see pictures.
Very heavy solid piece of glass (it weighs over 1kg !).
The silver top is decorated swirls, flowers and patterns.
Can not find any silver markings or other so may have to assume it is silver plate.
There is a smaller holder for the ink within the glass as shown in the pictures.
Difficult to show but that just shows how thick and solid the glass is.
It is in excellent condition.
A great and versatile decorating piece!
It is 13 cm / 5" high, and about 7.5 cm / 3" wide and deep.
It weighs 1050 g.
