Purchasing information-
With some scratching and pitting to surface, and few very small captive bubbles, mould line one inch above the foot.
Stopper with captive bubbles and flaws, and scratching and pitting to surface.
Design to the finial of the stopper is slightly different to that of inkwell, and the diameter of the bung is smaller than the neck of the bottle. However this is consistent with the literature of paperweight inkwell stoppers.
