ITEM 6163. "GENERAL WASHINGTON"
/ BUST OF WASHINGTON - "KENSINGTON GLASS WORKS PHILADELPHIA"
- "ADAMS & JEFFERSON JULY 4 A.D. 1776" - "E.
PLURIBUS UNUM" - EAGLE - "T.W.D.", (McK# GI-14),
aquamarine, pontil scar, pint, sheared and fire polished mouth,
shallow 1/8" inner mouth flake. Blown at the Kensington
Glass Works, C. 1826.
It is this flask's exceptionally
bold embossing, crisp lettering and brilliant surface that make
it a superior example of its type. The inner mouth flake is not
disfiguring and the piece is otherwise perfect with no wear at
the high points. It, as with many of the other flasks we are
offering, is fresh to the market, having been stored in an Ohio
estate for decades.
