ITEM 2268. "C.A. RICHARDS / 99 WASHINGTON ST / BOSTON.", golden olive amber, square, smooth base, 9 3/4"H x 2 7/8"W, applied sloping collar, about mint (1/16" panel edge flake). Probably blown at a Stoddard Glass Works, Stoddard, NH, 1860-1872.

This beautifully crude C. A. Richards case bottle is almost certainly the product of a Stoddard Glass Works and as shown, the glass is a rich golden olive amber in color with bubbles and swirl lines throughout. The noted panel edge flake is an inconsequential flaw that is noted for accuracy, as the piece remains a superior example of Stoddard glass.
