This is a beautiful Art Nouveau / Jugendstil Inkwell made in Austrian by Kralik Glass. It dates to around 1905.
Similar Kralik inkwells with three buttressed corners and trailing bands are on display in the Passau Museum in Germany.
This inkwell has a green iridescent body with bright lime green ribbon decorations and it has the usual brass hinged lid.
It is certainly a nice larger size for an inkwell - the diameter of the base being about 11.5 cm. The height including the brass lid is about 6.5 cm.
In good condition with no chips or cracks to the main body section. Sadly, the glass inkwell on the inside is cracked with a little loss to the glass. It should be easy enough to find a new plain glass replacement that you could stick onto the rim - or just leave as is - as it does not interfere with the aesthetics of the inkwell when on display.
If this was perfect - I would be listing at £325. But with the issue with the glass ink liner - then I am reducing it to only £225.
These beautiful Nouveau inkwells are now hard to source and are items for the specialist collector. I have taken lots of images for your inspection so that you can fully assess it and also the damage to the floating inside glass well section.
I also have a blue one on offer - and have taken a couple of snaps of how they look together.
