EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing and unique object showcases a Number 23 Mills hand grenade transformed into an ink stand, sitting atop a glazed metal base. The grenade, a relic from the Great War, bears the inscription "Memento of the Great War" and the registration number "651542," indicating its use by the Allied forces during World War I in 1915. The actual casting of the grenade has been repurposed as a functional ink stand, adding a distinctive and historical touch to any desk or writing space. The glazed metal base provides both stability and a visually appealing contrast to the rough texture of the grenade. This commemorative ware piece is not only a functional item but also a powerful reminder of the significant role hand grenades played during the First World War. The fusion of military history and everyday use creates a captivating conversation starter, making it a truly unique addition to any collection.
