  12th C. Islamic Ink Well Marbled Glass: **Originally Listed At $1200**. . Ancient Near East, Islamic, ca. 12th to 14th century CE. A stunning example of a rounded ink well with a tapered body that terminates in a petite discoid foot and a wide mouth which perhaps at one time held a lid. The vessel is formed from semi-translucent yellow-green glass with canes of opaque white glass marvered into the composition, however age-commensurate darkening has rendered the vessel in a stark jet-black hue. This type of vessel was used to hold various colors of ink. Scattered areas of fiery silver and rainbow-hued iridescence add an elegant burst of color to complement the vessel's bichrome presentation. Size: 2. 2" W x 1. 4" H (5. 6 cm x 3. 6 cm). . .
