Treasure Hunt - Vintage Ink Well

Here's a selection of photos I made from the ink well. I love these kind of pretty little things!

I was searching for old brass items to use when photographing jewelry (isn't it a great excuse for buying pretty things?!) and was scrolling through vintage and antique picture frames. In some strange reason I saw a vintage brass ink well that was with absolutely over the top decorations and a jaw-dropping price. Since that ink well had this glorious embellishments that none of my jewelry could compete (and the price that was out of my world) I thought that it might be a great idea to search what kind of ink wells are out there. And found this!

This vintage ink well has romantic decoration and is made of brass.
On the ink well sits a cute brass bird like on its nest!

See this? This porcelain insert is original and is meant to contain ink.

This photo shows what it looks from under.

Siin on valik fotosid tindipotist. Mulle täiega meeldivad sellised väiksed iluasjad!

Ma tegelikult otsisin vanu messingust esemeid, mida kasutada oma ehete pildistamisel (kas pole hea vabandus iluasjade ostmiseks?) ja vaatasin vintage pidliraamide oksjoneid. Mingil imelikul põhjusel oli seal hulgas üks vintage messing-kaunistustega tindipott millel absoluutselt üle võlli kaunistused ja üüratu hind. Et sellel tindipotil olid sellised kuninglikud kaunistused, millega ükski mu ehe võistelda ei suudaks (ja hind mu võimalustest valgusaastate kaugusel), siis mõtlesin, et äkki on hea idee otsida, milliseid tindipotte veel saadaval on. Ja leidsin selle siin!
