A splendid example with rippled vertical whittle. Great character - bubbly, with stretch marks up the neck, and a drippy applied top. The embossing strike is bold and the color is very unusual - standing out among others on the shelf. This one's provenance is from the Bob Cole collection that was auctioned by Glass Works in 2023.
