FAQs

Heavy glass inkwells featuring silver mountings became widely popular during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as desk essentials. They were designed with substantial weight to prevent accidental tipping while writing with dip pens.

These desk items were typically constructed from lead crystal or heavy cut glass, paired with solid sterling silver or silver-plated hinged covers and collar mounts.

Authentic pieces generally display hallmark stamps on the silver neck collar or lid rim, deep hand-cut glass facets, starburst motifs cut into the base, and evidence of genuine oxidation on the metal fittings.

An antique glass inkwell can be displayed on an office desk, styled on a bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes, or placed on a console table as a decorative accessory.

Clean the glass body using a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding submersion of the metal components. Polish the silver lid gently with a specialised silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish.
