ITEM 6031. PATTERN MOLDED GLOBULAR
BOTTLE, light, bright yellow amber, 24 ribs swirled to the right,
pontil scar, 9 3/8"H, outwardly folded mouth, a mint bottle
exhibiting the expected usage wear. Midwestern, probably blown
at the Zanesville Glass Works, Zanesville, OH, 1820-1840, rare
size.
Perfectly formed and blown in a lighter than normal shade of
yellow amber glass (lots of yellow!), this oversized globular
bottle is truly a great piece of glass. More than one inch taller
(and notably "fatter") than the typical pattern molded
glob, this impressively sized and boldly impressed bottle makes
a dramatic visual statement when displayed amongst other pattern
molded objects. This is as fine an example of its type as we
have had the pleasure of offering. Please note that we are selling
the bottle both singly and as one of an assembled "pair"
with an abnormally small example. The bottles are not only startlingly
different in size and color but also ribbed in different directions.
