Description

Another common Civil War era item extensively documented among artifact collections and dug in may documented camp and civilian sites. Rich mottled brown glaze on this fired clay inkwell. The cone shape is a bit more difficult to find that that the shorter cylinder squared shoulder type and generally brings a premium price. (2x+) Found in dig sites from both sides, but the cone shape seems to be somewhat more commonly seen documented to Southern areas. In excellent plus condition with only the smallest edge chip on the basis, seen in the pictures provided. No cracks anywhere and the lip is in fine condition. Elegant incise rings near the top. As near mint as you can find. A simply excellent original example. (CCW, FMCW, Lord’s, &tc, &tc.) Significantly below retail for this nice of an example.
