I assume it would require some amount of magic inclination to sense the aether held within it, if it's possible.
Yes, like how we can feel a soul or memory resonating within a soulstone, aetherial items or spiritbonded keepsakes have a glow or palpable feel to them - even to those who are not magically inclined. Though, someone who was more sensitive to the flow of aether might have a more definite sensation.
Here's Garratt, a gladiator sellsword, describing his aetherial item:

Also, from Severian:
