Featured Weird cut internally stained flashed glass lump thing

Those are stunning ! Must have one !

 

Great information Cheryl, so it is a mock inkwell, made solely to show off the glassmaker's technical skills.
And the goblet is a blown goblet, which is encased.

 

This is the caption translated to english:

Revenge inkwell
These purely decorative inkwells are a real technical feat. The ink reservoir, made from blown, colored glass, is in the shape of a goblet. The goblet is then encased in thick, transparent glass, which is cooled and then carved into more or less complex patterns. The colored glass symbolizes the ink and the goblet is a reference to the glassblowing profession. According to tradition, the word revenge refers to the superiority of the glassmakers’ technical dexterity over intellectual knowledge. These so-called revenge inkwells have never held any ink.

 

The caption was already in English.

 

That's strange, when I went to the link it was in French

Oh, Cheryl that’s lovely. Thank you. It does seem to support the idea that the stopper on that other one isn’t right.

I seem to have bought a real piece of history. This is enormously pleasing. And it was the same day I bought That Brooch, too.

 

I might need one too! Very cool!

 

It’s the old truism: folkow your instinct!

 

Very cool piece! I’ve never seen anything like that, and I learned something!
