ITEM 6609. CHESTNUT BOTTLE, golden
olive amber, pontil scar, 9"H, applied sloping collar with
ring, mint. Blown at a New England Glass House, C. 1830.
It is this bottle's unusual lip treatment that helps us date
the piece to at or around 1830 as bottles of this type were transitioning
from earlier dip molded and freeblown manufacture to piece-mold
construction. Chestnut type bottles with this mouth treatment
are far less common than the earlier types and it is my belief
that they were made for a very short period of time. This is
to my eye a particularly appealing example and it is of the type
that could have been blown at Keene or in Coventry.
