ITEM 1741. MONUMENT COLOGNE BOTTLE, clambroth, figural monument, smooth base, 6 ½"H x 1 7/16"W, hand tooled single ring collar, mint with a shallow, pinhead-sized open bubble on the lip edge. American, 1860-1880, scarce mold & color.

Unusual in both form and color, this intriguing cologne bottle is most likely the product of a New England Glass Factory, dating to the second half of the Nineteenth century. As shown, the translucent glass exhibits both bluish and fiery opalescent tones - the visual effect of the glass is most apparent when displayed in a sunny window but the piece is quite obviously "different" in any lighting situation. THIS IS A GREAT PIECE OF EARLY GLASS!!!!
