Cane & Pillars Inkwell w/Sterling Repousse Top

FSG1336

Condition: EF

Price: $1,695.00

Description:

This beautifully-crafted inkwell is cut with alternating panels of double-miter cane and clear panels, both cut on the bias.  The cutting has the soft, silky feel of 'old cut glass' that is entirely wheel-polished.  At 2 3/4-lbs., it is a very heavy piece for its 3 1/2 x 4-inch size.  The bottom has a 24-point rayed star.  The repousse silver is very well-done and is signed with a string of indistinguishable block letters (a company name?) preceding 'sterling,' and 'S' inside 'airplane wings' followed by '49.' 

A fine inkwell with an unsual shape and an attractive design.
