ITEM 6862. "A / LITTLE /
MORE / GRAPE / CAPT. BRAG" - BALTIMORE MONUMENT, (McK#GVI-1),
aquamarine, tubular pontil scar, half-pint, sheared and fire
polished mouth, a mint flask with a manufacturer's pontil chip
located directly underneath the base of the monument. Blown at
the Baltimore Glass Works, C.1830, rare color.
This sweet little Baltimore flask is as fine an example as one
could hope to find. The GVI-1 mold is often plagued by muddy
(sometimes non-existent) mold impressions but as the photos show,
this example exhibits exceptional clarity and detailing. There
is no wear at the high points and the glass exhibits pleasing
crudity with a plethora of bubbles and swirl lines adding character.
