Antique 19th Century English Stoneware Master Ink Bottle – P. & J. Arnold London

Bring an authentic piece of 19th-century British history into your space with this Victorian salt-glazed stoneware master ink bottle with pour spout! Hand-thrown and built for heavy-duty utilitarian use, this rustic bottle features the beautiful, deeply textured, iron-toned brown glaze characteristic of period English pottery. 

The front showcases a crisp, deeply impressed maker's stamp reading: *"Vitreous Stone Bottles, J. Bourne & Son Patentees, Denby Pottery Near Derby, P. & J. Arnold, London, England."* Originally used to transport and hold bulk writing ink mixed by P. & J. Arnold in London, these "vitreous stone" vessels were specifically patented by Denby Pottery to prevent ink from seeping through the clay.

Today, its historic character and rich, earthy textures make it a stunning standalone accent piece, a unique bud vase, or an eye-catching addition to rustic farmhouse shelves and primitive decor collections.
