This charming pressed glass inkwell features crisp faceted sides, oval medallion panels, and a distinctive rounded “bubble” base that catches and reflects light beautifully. Likely dating to the late 1800s or early 1900s, the form reflects Victorian-era desk accessories designed to be both practical and decorative. Shown styled with a feather quill for scale and atmosphere (quill not included), this piece makes a striking accent for a writing desk, bookshelf, or display cabinet.
Crafted in clear pressed glass, the inkwell has a solid feel and pleasing symmetry. Its compact size makes it ideal for collectors of antique desk items, early glass, or those looking to add a touch of old-world character to their interior styling.
