Antique Aqua Glass English Victorian Inkwells

In Victorian times, inkwells were used once and discard. So it makes sense they didn’t spend a lot of time manufacturing them. These little glass bottles have bubbles, imperfections and some have a sheared top. Instead of taking the time to apply a top that is smooth and round they would just break the glass off leaving a sharp edge. 

Each one of these inkwells has been dug up from a Victorian Trash heap in England. They are my favorite thing to place in a windowsill as a bud vase.

Decorating your home with vintage means you are choosing to decorate with history and charm. It’s also the most sustainable way to decorate. You are keeping old items out of the landfill and saving resources and human labor used in the manufacturing of new home decor.

Each item in my boutique is hand picked by me. I take pride in building collections that are rich with color, history and charm. With Finches and Ferns, you can choose decor both intentionally and sustainably.
