About the Item

Cut Crystal Inkwell with Silver-Plated Screw Cap England Cut crystal, silver-plated metal Early 20th century Dimensions: H × W × D: 6.1 × 4.2 × 4.2 cm Description: A small, well-proportioned inkwell with a square base and precisely cut planar surfaces. The solid crystal body features an interior cavity with a refined, drop-shaped constriction – a functional detail that concentrates the ink toward the center. The gently domed screw cap, made of silver-plated metal, contrasts pleasingly with the clear geometric form of the vessel. Its weight, material quality, and craftsmanship give the object a calm, balanced presence on the writing desk. Remarks: This type of desk accessory reflects the transition from representational to functional writing implements. The harmonious interplay of form and utility speaks to a design sensibility rooted both in late historicism and in the emerging aesthetics of early modernism. Condition: Very good condition. Minor traces of use to the glass. The silver plating with an attractive, even patina.
