A quintessential piece of Edwardian desk-ware, this inkwell strikes a perfect balance between substance and grace. Measuring 9.5cm high and weighing 374 grams, it features a beautifully weighted square-cut glass base with deep starburst detailing.
 
The centrepiece is the brilliant, stepped brass collar and hinged flip-top lid. The brass has been maintained to a high lustre, perfectly complementing the optical clarity of the glass. This is not just a tool for the desk, but a decorative statement piece that reflects the high standards of early 20th-century craftsmanship.
 
Highlights:
Very well preserved: The top opens and closes correctly and the hinge is in good condition, one small chip to the base otherwise no faults.
 
Edwardian Proportions: A refined 5.8cm width makes it suitable for even smaller, elegant davenport desks.
 
Optical Brilliance: High-lead glass content provides a bright, clear view of the ink reservoir.
 
The inkwell measures 5.8cm wide by 9.5cm high.
