ITEM 6856. SHEAF OF WHEAT - "WESTFORD
GLASS CO / WESTFORD / CONN", (McK# GXIII-35), bright, clear
orange amber, early smooth base, pint, applied double collar,
a mint flask with a somewhat weakened impression. Westford Glass
Works, Westford, CT, 1860-1873.
It is this Westford made flask's dramatic color that makes it
one to own. Decidedly more orange than amber, the glass passes
light evenly from top to bottom, revealing a myriad of seedy
bubbles. There is no wear at the high points and the glossy exterior
surface exhibits pleasing glass whittle.
