Sunflower Ink. No base mark. Ink Glass Sheer Lip. Aqua. 1 oz. About 90 mm to tip of spout. 1870s
Excellent. A little nibbled around the sheer lip, this is from making. The upper flat part has a couple of impact type flakes to the edge. Some dust and grime. Some usage wear under the base. A few minor nicks. We have called this a sunflower ink, sometimes I have heard these referred to as a bracelet ink. From the famous ink collection of Bert Hayward, Bert was on the cover of the Australian Bottle Review in February 1976 with his display of inks! Grade: 8 Estimate: $50 - 75
