I recently culled down my personal collection and have had this bottle for almost 30 years. I've only seen 1 or 2 of the blue examples ever since. It has the applied taper top and an iron pontiled bottom. Nicely whittled.
Embossed: JONES'S / MINERAL WATER / PHIL.A // J
Height: 7 3/4"
Color: medium cobalt blue
Condition: perfect structurally with no dings, chips, bruises or nicks. This is a dug bottle that has never been tumble cleaned, and so it has patchy haze and some scaling wear and light swirl etch from being in a wet area. It would polish clean if desired. No residue on the pontil.
Reference Number: 1973
Price: $460
