About this product
This is a vintage Pitney Bowes frosted glass ink jar, designed as an oiler and featuring a distinctive marble stopper. Originating from the United States, its clear color allows for easy viewing of its contents. The jar is specifically categorized as an ink bottle type, suggesting its original purpose was for storing or dispensing ink, likely for postal meters or similar vintage office equipment. Its frosted finish adds an aesthetic touch to its functional design.
Our take
For collectors of vintage office memorabilia or those looking for a unique display piece, this frosted glass ink jar is a charming find. The marble stopper is a nice touch, adding to its antique appeal, and the clear glass is practical for its original purpose, or for displaying colored inks if repurposed. As a US-made item, it has a certain historical authenticity. While it's an interesting item, its utility in a modern setting is purely decorative, and at under twenty dollars, it's an accessible piece of history.
