Circa 1850 Deep Purple CONWAY Blob Soda - Philadelphia

This bottle comes in a spectrum of greens and blues, and this is probably the deepest most purple blue shade. It's a crude example that tilts to the right and one side is slightly flattened. Must have been a bad day at the glassblower, but adds to the charm. The top is a hand applied blob. Pontil is very bold but no residue.

Embossed:  P. CONWAY / BOTTLER / PHILAD.A // No 8 HUNTER St / & / 108 FILBERT St / MINERAL WATERS

Height:  7 1/2" 
Color:
deep purple cobalt blue

Condition: Very good - the bottle is structurally perfect with no chips, dings, etc. Crude too. It has never been tumble cleaned and retains overall spotty wear and some dull haze. Would tumble nicely.
