ITEM 7105. DIP MOLDED SNUFF
JAR, brilliant yellow with a slight olive cast, rectangular,
4 5/8"H, crudely sheared mouth, mint. New England, probably
blown at a Connecticut Glass House, 1790-1820, very scarce.
Over the years it has been our pleasure to handle a handful of
these yellow Connecticut snuff jars and each exhibits a similar
glass texture that features pits, stones, swirls and a multitude
of foam galaxies. Snuffs of this type are among the earliest
blown in New England and it is likely that they were blown at
either Pitkin, Mather's Works in East Hartford or at the short
lived Glastonbury Glass Works in the late 18th or very early
19th century. Dramatically asymmetrical, beautifully colored
and almost impossibly crude, this is a bottle any collector
