Civil War Ink Well

 

A classic mid-19th century glass inkwell featuring a square body with a wide, beveled mouth designed for repeated daily use. Blown in aqua glass with subtle natural bubbles and imperfections, this piece reflects the utilitarian craftsmanship of the period. Compact and sturdy, inkwells like this were an essential item for soldiers, officers, and clerks during the Civil War, used to fill dip pens for writing letters and official documents. This example remains in very good condition making it a fine addition to any writing or personal effects display.

Measures 2 3/4″ in height.
