About this product
This is an antique, octagonal, straight-sided ink bottle, made of green aqua glass. Originating from the United Kingdom, it features a burst top, identified as Covill 559. Its specific shape and material make it a notable piece for collectors interested in historical glass or ink-related artifacts.
Our take
As a collector of antique bottles, this octagonal ink bottle is quite appealing. The 'green aqua' glass color is charming and very typical of the period, and the 'octagonal' straight-sided shape is a nice distinctive feature. Knowing its 'Country of Origin' is the United Kingdom and its specific Covill 559 identification adds a layer of verifiable history, which is always a plus for collectors. The 'burst top' is a common characteristic of these early bottles. At $30.00, it seems like a reasonable price for a glass antique with such specific details.
