Early Glass & Bottles

An exceptionally attractive German flattened “Boot Bottle” with a fitted sterling pouring top with cover and handle. A nice combination of a normally crude style bottle with a most sophisticated silver mount. Bottle is deep olive amber, clean and brilliant. Hallmarks on the sterling silver indicate it was made by the Hilliard & Thompson Co. of Birmingham, England and dates to the period of the bottle. Great style, presence and original condition.

“Pitkin” type Flask, c. 1800-1825. Pattern molded with 30 vertical ribs over 30 ribs swirled to the right. Probably Mid West origin. Elliptical formed body in a very attractive medium sea green color. 6 7/8″ tall with a rough pontil. The glass is clear and brilliant with no staining, chips, cracks, stars, etc. The base is a bit slanted and would benefit from a small amount of clay to add maximum stability. There is some high point exterior wear, but it does not detract from its appearance and bright color. A nice example in form and expecially color.
