Antique Square Burst Top English INK Bottle Duo

Description: Up for sale is a gorgeous pair of hand-blown English ink bottles / inkwells dating to around 1900-1910. They are both short square shaped unembossed bottles with beveled edge corners, having sharply defined paneled/domed shoulders and short round necks. One is a light blue color (not quite aqua) while the other is a deeper cornflower blue. They both have unfinished/rough sheared or "burst" tops. The taller one is a bit over 2" tall, and they are 1 5/8" x 1 5/8" square at the base. Both are in excellent condition, no damage to the glass, they don't get much nicer than this honestly! The burst tops are rough and jagged as-made, and one has a larger chip missing (an unfortunate quirk of the process to "burst" the mouths). One has some light mineral stain but nothing major, and they're both a bit dirty or grimy, certainly the type that would wash out, and there's old sticker residue to clean off. Satisfaction guaranteed, if you're not in love after handling them in person I'm happy to accept returns. Shipped via USPS Priority Mail at buyer's expense, or pickup in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
