ITEM 6243. "JENNY LIND"
/ BUST OF JENNY LIND - "FISLERVILLE GLASS WORKS" /
GLASS FACTORY," (McK# GI-107), light to medium yellow green,
pontil scar, quart calabash, applied sloping collar, about mint
(small shallow base bruise of nominal consequence). Blown at
the Fislerville Glass Works, Fislerville, NJ, C. 1860, very rare
color.
Although common in aqua, the
AUTHENTIC GI-107 is rare in color and in fact, this is one of
the first examples we have encountered. The bottle is crisply
embossed and filled with tiny bubbles. The noted bruise is located
at the edge of the basal "push up" and it is quietly
likely a manufacturer's flaw resulting from the pontil rod. It
is in any case truly a non-issue and the piece remains a startlingly
fine example in a very rare shade of color.
