EARLY LONDON HAND THROWN INK BOTTLE. 4ins tall. An absolutely delightful, attractive tiny size, early (c.1800?), salt glaze vessel. The glaze also, unusually, covers the under side too. Slightly tapering outwards main body featuring three impressed lines: Fortnums/ Japan/ INK up to shoulder, neck sloping in to a wonderful rounded lip. Hand thrown. Slight under edge flake (old) and some surface marks from barnacle cover, easy to clean off if need be? A very rare offering indeed.
