A Lovely Antique Victorian Grand Tour Inkwell featuring a finely detailed solid brass lid and a precision-cut glass base. Likely purchased as a refined souvenir during a European journey, this piece reflects the elegance and intellectual curiosity of Victorian-era travellers. The thick, hand-cut glass gives the inkwell stability and a luxurious feel – circa 1890.
* These inkwells were often brought home from extended European tours by young aristocrats and intellectuals.
