great price for a beautiful piece

 

Got these three little stoneware inkpots for about $2 (I know not very exciting and there’s loads on the market) All Victorian. Just for interest sake is the dark brown one perhaps slightly older? (I know is doesn’t matter I was really just wondering) Thanks

 

I'd call them inkwells, but..yup. Same thing. They look like the standard ones everyone used. The largest one looks oldest to me too.

 

Thank you for the comment. Was just curious..

 

They’re ink bottles rather than wells. The ink was sold in them with a cork stopper and wax seal. They look mid nineteenth onwards.

 

I appreciate the reply. Thank you

 

Most welcome. I’ve several Doulton ones, including huge shop bottles which were decanted into little ones.

 

I watch some little videos on FB of a mudlarker (people who comb the Thames foreshores for items) and she has unearthed a few of the ink bottles of the light brown kind. I wonder if one of yours was mudlarked!

 

I think you might be surprised if you put this up for auction

 

Interesting comment and possibility. Would have never considered that. Will do some watching’ Thank you.

 

Sounds like a nice collection that you have!

 

Found in a box. Yellowing badly in just a fw minutes in the light.
Worthless but interesting

 

Seven cents & it is likely 5 times the size of what they put out today.

 

I didn't know about that Kennedy incident.

 

I want to know more about the Danish kids and the tractor.

 

Red stone seems to be nice glass

 

On 18k ????

 

Just scored this!!

 

What is is?
