Main photo of c1870 Millefiori glass inkwell seen looking diagonally down from above showing the millefiori detail at the bottom of the lid and bottle. The sides of the millefiori layers around the outer rim are a reddish brown colour with inner columns generally a white. The tips of the columns are where the colour happens with reds, blues and greens. It is difficult to spot any issues with this piece in this photo.
Photo looking straight down at the inkwell from above. The lid is in place and it looks like one paperweight with fuzzy edge.

Photo of antique millefiori glass inkwell seen from an eye level with lid in its place. From this angle, it is clear that the ink containing well is just at the top part of the bottle.
Photo looking diagonally down at the inkwell from above. The lid has been removed and placed at bottom left corner with the millefiori side facing up. Again, from this angle, it is hard to spot any damage to this piece.
Photo looking straight down at inkwell from above. The lid is removed and placed to the right of the lower bottle. The central millefiori flower is visible through the mouth. There is a small black ink stain on the lip of the bottle which is not visible when the lid is in place.
Photo of the base of both lid and bottle. The bottle has a pontil which is where the glass is cut from being handblown. The lid looks as though it has a pontil too but alas it is where the stopper has broken off. Although jagged looking, it has been smoothed off to a degree so not sharp to touch.

Main photo of Sèvres style porcelain vases displayed side by side with one slightly back from other. The photo is taken from a near eye level and there is a spray of white orchids in between the 2 vases. The main body of the vase is in white ending in a long V shape at the base where a vibrant dark turquoise blue sits. To the side, the white V becomes inverted to an upside down blue V. Where the white is seen most, there are 2 rows pretty multicoloured small flower garlands which continue all the way around the vase. To the top, the fluted tops have perforated sides like flower petals with a single dot perforation at top of each. Each perforated area is neatly finished in gilt. Such pretty vases - flowers not required! Add to cart
