This one turns that simple job into a small piece of desk jewelry. It is a lovely companion for anyone who still writes by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA round bottle of clear swirled glass is fitted with a hinged, domed gilt metal lid, trimmed with beaded bands and topped with a small knob. The bottle sits at the centre of a shallow round gilt metal tray. The tray has a beaded rim and a deep pierced gallery of repeating foliate motifs around its edge. The twisted ribs in the glass are made by turning the hot glass after it has been blown into a ribbed mould, so the ribs spiral around the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inkwell is in very good vintage condition. It passes on with its gilt softened by use. On a writing desk it holds ink for a dip pen, or serves as a handsome ornament beside a blotter and letter rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comprises: a swirled clear glass bottle with a hinged gilt metal lid, set in a gilt metal tray with a pierced foliate gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: Height 14 cm (5.5 in) · Width 19 cm (7.5 in) — a little larger than a saucer\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: clear swirled glass, gilt metal\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: Louis Philippe style\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping: professionally packed, fully insured, worldwide · we handle the paperwork and pay all import duties · nothing to settle on delivery\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: very good vintage condition\u003cbr\u003e\nReturns: accepted within 30 days\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59618628993369,"sku":"LM-V-510","price":486.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8595817938_dcja.jpg?v=1790687360","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/swirled-glass-inkwell-with-hinged-gilt-09057","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
