Cut and polished 9-sided teakettle ink in a pretty teal grean color. Small circular "cap" on the top of the ink reads G. RIDDLE LONDON. Riddle was a jeweler in London in the 1800s and this ink was apparently a special order for the owner, whose initials are stamped in the lid. There is a small groove or notch in the glass on the back of the neck just under the cap/ring which would have been done by the jeweler to accomodate the personalized lid. This ink is smaller than the standard size teakettle, only standing 1-5/8" tall. Excellent undamaged condition. Priority packing/postage within the USA is $5.00. Email for other locations. You are only bidding on the ink on the left. The other ink is listed in a separate auction. INSURANCE IS ALWAYS OPTIONAL.
