Ink well 18th-19th century

This 18th-19th century cobalt blue glass inkwell, from an anonymous artist, is a classic example of a functional piece of art with a unique form. The vessel's octagonal shape, with a small spout on the side, was designed to hold ink for writing. Made of glass, it exhibits a deep, rich blue hue, adding a touch of elegance to the desk. This inkwell is a testament to the craftsmanship and practicality of everyday objects in the past and is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
