Authentic Revolutionary War Era Glass Umbrella Ink Bottle - 1700’s New England

Description

For sale is this authentic antique glass inkwell from New England that dates back to the American Revolution! This piece is made out of a light aqua blue tinted glass, and would have once held a black writing ink that was sealed in with a cork. The glass has an octagonal base, and a round head. It likely was made between 1725 and 1775. If only it could talk! I am sure it has some amazing history! This piece was recovered in 1975 in Massachusetts. It was located in a “State Prison Canal” along with some other glass pieces. It does have a small crack near the top, some unevenness in the glass (which was common for the era), and may have several other blemishes. It was buried for a couple hundred years, so expect some flaws. It is ready for display, and is being displayed in my personal collection now! Don’t miss out!
Be sure to check over the details and look at all of the photos so you will know exactly what you’ll get! Again, this is a modern piece. Sometimes the photos include a picture of the item next to a ruler so that you can better tell the size of the item. This way we can avoid any accidental sizing issues. My goal is to make you happy!
