Oval Ink Well with Double Stained Quail


Oval Ink Well with Double Stained Quail
Presented here is a quail specimen cleared and double‑stained via diaphonization — cartilage and joints highlighted in rich blue, bones rendered in a subtler secondary stain — then suspended in clear fluid inside a vintage‑style oval ink‑well bottle. The result: an elegant contrast between the skeletal framework and translucent soft tissues, with the skull, spine, ribs, wing and leg bones clearly visible through the bottle glass.
The oval ink‑well presentation gives this specimen a cabinet-of-curiosities charm — marrying scientific detail with a classic, old‑world display aesthetic. A refined piece for collectors who appreciate delicate avian anatomy, vivid cartilage stain contrast, and a tasteful, compact display format.
