Condition

Overall in very good condition. The favrile blown-out glass appears to be original and undisturbed, and is in very good condition with no visible cracks. With ink staining along the recessed shoulder, and with a few small scattered ink droplets to the bronze surfaces below. The patinated bronze surfaces show gentle wear and rubbing. The interior inkwell and underside of the hinged top with ink staining, surface soiling, and light oxidation. With a period clear glass inkwell liner with a few small edge chips and flecks. The colors of the patina and favrile glass are richer and more vibrant than in the catalogue illustration (which is slightly dark). A fine example of this rare inkstand model displaying a particularly rich russet brown patina and vibrant green glass.
