Vintage Antique Early 1890's English Victorian Langley Mills Pottery Ink Bottle

$17.29

This piece of very early stoneware is a little piece of colonial history to grace your desk with.
These little ink bottles would have been once as common as milk bottles were. However like a lot of early "disposables", they weren't treated with the reverence they now command, so few can be found in a totally pristine condition.
This one is in very good condition with no chips or cracks.
From base to its lip 4 1/2 inches / 11.5 cm.
Its heavy solid clay base measures 2 inches / 5 cm across
Makers were "LOVATT & LOVATT. NOTTS. LANGLEY MILL".
These rough cast, salt-glazed and fired bottles have a wonderful array of shadow and shade, from a light clay shade to the dark chocolate glazed finish, that's seen in this example. The base of unglazed clay adds
interest as to the clay used in this period.

An attractive piece for your colonial collection.
