A 3" tall x 2 3/8" wide round, cylinder-shaped deep COBALT BLUE colored antique INK WELL.
This is what is referred to as a 'spool' shaped bottle as it is shaped just like an old wooden spool. It is an ORIGINAL ANTIQUE hand Blown Into Mold bottle (BIM) with a tooled top, dating back to the 1800's.
- Condition: This bottle is in PRISTINE SPARKLING CLEAN condition. NO cracks, chips, dings, damage, etc. The hand tooled lip is an irregular shape, oval, it must of been an 'end of day' job as it was done quite crudely, which makes for an added attraction as a unique hand blown glass vessel. Please see pictures for general idea of condition.
- Age: This is an ORIGINAL ANTIQUE hand-blown bottle (Blown-In-Mold = BIM) with a tooled-top, ca. late 1800's.
- Shipping: FREE domestic shipping. We DO ship Internationally but we do NOT insure International orders unless buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance estimate. If an international shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time.
A super nicely colored example of an early- American Ink Well. By far, most of the COBALT BLUE ink wells you see today are newer machine made bottles. It is hard to find one of these early hand blown-into-mold (BIM) ink wells that is cobalt blue, which dates back to the 1800's. An especially crude example with the roughly formed lip. As such, these are beautiful and highly collectable antique ink bottles, and this one in PRISTINE SPARKLING CLEAN condition, check it out!
