Trio of antique stoneware ink bottles.
A great little set of Victorian ink bottles with brown glazes including a lovely conical shaped bottle.
The bottles are ideal for displaying small cut flowers or just grouped on a shelf. The opening of one of the bottles is large enough to fit a trimmed taper candle.
Dating to the Victorian era, these little pots and bottles would have once contained writing ink. They would have been corked and sealed with wax. After use they were discarded - only to be found decades later at the Victorian bottle dumps around the country and repurposed as decorative pieces for modern homes.
Wonderful antique condition with countless knocks, chips, marks and imperfections all adding up to a hugely characterful trio of Victorian stoneware ink bottles.
The conical ink bottle is approximately 9cm tall and 6cm diameter across the base. The smallest is 6cm tall and 4cm diameter across the base.
All our pieces have a past and may feature age-related marks which we believe add to their charm. If you have any questions about this item or would like to see further photographs, please do get in touch.
