ITEM 6290. PAPERWEIGHT INKWELL,
deep aquamarine, generally cylindrical with the foot, stem and
bowl tooled from a single gather, pontil scar, 5 1/16"H,
flared mouth, about mint (tiny surface bruise on the outermost
circumference of the bowl). Blown at a New York State Glass House,
1840-1860, scarce.
Blown from a relatively high grade of window glass, this interestingly
formed paperweight ink was tooled and manipulated from a single
gather. As with other inks of this type, it is likely that the
piece was blown in Western New York State during the mid Nineteenth
century.
