Vintage Heavy Pressed Glass Square Inkwell / Mini Trinket Dish
This authentic vintage clear pressed glass dish is a stunning piece of mid-century desk hardware. Built with thick, heavy-walled construction, it features an intricate swirled ribbing pattern wrapping around a distinct square body. The circular top rim opening cascades down into a smooth interior reservoir, while the underside reveals a beautifully molded geometric starburst base.
Originally designed as an open desk inkwell or a specialized vanity pot, its substantial weight prevents it from tipping easily. Today, it serves as a gorgeous decorative accent that beautifully catches the light, making it a perfect addition to any vintage office collection, vanity tray, or primitive farmhouse display.
