Antique English Glass Inkwell with Brass Lid
A study in balance and beauty, this early 20th-century inkwell captures the quiet elegance of the written word. Its square pressed-glass body folds and flows like draped fabric, catching light in subtle, sculptural ways. The brass flip-top lid, engraved in concentric rings, adds warmth and contrast, opening to reveal a black leather lining — a small but refined detail that speaks to its English craftsmanship.
Compact and weighty in hand, this inkwell offers a tactile connection to the golden age of correspondence. It once served as a tool of intention; now it endures as both a functional ink pot and an object of beauty for the desk or cabinet.
