About this product
This small, hand-blown Thomas ink bottle from the 1890s era exhibits a distinct amethyst color, a characteristic often found in antique glass due to sun exposure. Originating from the United States, this 'dug' bottle represents a piece of historical American manufacturing. Its design is typical of ink bottles from that period, making it a desirable item for collectors interested in turn-of-the-century artifacts or vintage writing paraphernalia. The hand-blown nature adds to its unique, artisanal appeal.
Our take
I appreciate the historical charm of this small, hand-blown Thomas ink bottle. The amethyst coloration, likely sun-induced, gives it a unique aesthetic that really stands out. Being from the 1890s era and 'dug' adds to its authenticity and story. It's a testament to early American manufacturing. While it's a beautiful piece for display, its primary value is as a collectible item rather than a functional one, as it's an empty bottle. The size is also on the smaller side, making it more of an accent piece than a centerpiece. However, for those who value historical context and unique glass, it's a solid acquisition at its price.
