ABOUT PRODUCTID 1345
This miniature inkwell from 1920s Poland is crafted from faceted, transparent crystal glass. The set consists of two small containers, each with its original, cut-glass lid and a brass collar at the neck, showing a subtle patina and gentle surface wear. All elements are mounted on a rectangular, glossy black glass base, which creates a strong contrast with the cool clarity of the crystal. Between the inkwells stands an obelisk-shaped ornament made of clear, faceted glass, accentuating the geometric, vertical composition typical of the Art Deco style. The ensemble is distinguished by sharp edges, symmetry, and restrained decoration, while smooth, reflective surfaces capture the light and highlight the precision of the cuts. The set is in very good condition, with only minor scratches and wear visible on the metal collars and base, and no chips or cracks in the glass.This compact composition encapsulates the spirit of the modernist 1920s, when functionality met the geometric discipline of new design. Intended for an elegant desk or vanity, the inkwell seems to tell the story of an era where light plays across faceted crystal, the black base contrasts with transparency, and the coolness of glass meets the warmth of brass. It quietly suggests that everyday moments can bear the traces of art—even in the smallest details.The inkwell can serve as a subtle accent on a desk, vanity, or shelf in a living room or study. It could be paired with dark wood veneer, a marble surface, or minimalist accessories from the era—such as a chrome paperweight or a geometric photo frame. Interiors inspired by Art Deco, modernism, or classic eclecticism provide an apt backdrop, while combinations with matte glass or velvet textiles will further enhance its refined character.
