Antique Conical "Umbrella" Glass Inkwell / Individual Bud Vase

This authentic antique clear-to-aqua glass inkwell is a classic piece of late 19th-to-early 20th-century stationery history. Masterfully crafted with a iconic conical "umbrella" shape, it features a distinct tiered mid-ring collar and a smooth, flared rim originally designed to receive a cork stopper.

The glass showcases beautiful, characteristic manufacturing traits of the Victorian and early industrial eras—including prominent vertical mold lines, subtle glass ripples, and tiny trapped air bubbles that give it undeniable primitive charm. Its heavy, wide-flared base provides excellent structural stability, preventing tips while writing with traditional dip or fountain pens. Today, it stands as a highly collectible artifact for antique bottle enthusiasts, rustic farmhouse vignettes, or desktop organizers.
