A very pretty example of a tough poison, probably never in the ground. The bold columns of hobnails, bold embossing, larger size, and rich cobalt shade command attention.

| Color |
deep purplish cobalt blue |
| Height |
6 1/8" |
| Top |
tooled ring |
| Base |
smooth |
Structural Condition |
it's priced way down because of numerous chips to the top lip, which wrap most of the way around (see pics). I don't see any associated hairlines and no other damage. |
| Surface Condition |
excellent bold embossing strike. Clean except for one or two spots of trace haze. Hardly any wear except for a flea bite nick on the reverse. |
