About this product
This is an Antique Teal Aqua Umbrella Ink Bottle, measuring 2.5 inches in height. It features an 8-sided design and an applied lip, characteristic of early glass production.

Our take
This antique umbrella ink bottle is quite charming with its teal aqua blue color and 8-sided design. The 'applied lip' detail is a clear indicator of its early glass origins, which is fascinating for anyone interested in historical manufacturing. Being 2.5 inches tall, it's a compact piece that could fit nicely on a shelf or desk without taking up much space. Coming from the United States adds to its provenance. At $28.00, it's priced a bit higher than some other antique bottles, but its unique shape and historical features make it a worthwhile decorative item for collectors.
