Art Nouveau Bohemian Glass Inkwell with Gilt Brass Tray – Attributed to Wilhelm Kralik, Bohemia, circa 1890

,

An elegant Art Nouveau inkwell comprising a richly coloured green Bohemian art glass inkwell set into a flowing gilt brass tray, decorated with sinuous whiplash lines and a stylised floral motif. The glass exhibits strong internal movement and colour typical of turn-of-the-century Bohemian production, closely comparable to examples produced by Wilhelm Kralik.

The inkwell is fitted with a gilt-metal collar and hinged lid, and the underside bears the impressed mark “GESCHÜTZT”, indicating registered design protection. Desk objects of this quality were produced in limited numbers and reflect the high standard of craftsmanship associated with Bohemian Art Nouveau glass and metalwork at the period.

A refined and highly decorative desk accessory, appealing to collectors of Art Nouveau, Bohemian glass, and early 20th-century decorative arts.
