Emerald Green Congress & Empire

 

Circa 1865-1875 Saratoga NY Mineral Water - Congress & Empire Spring

From the Neil Moore collection auctioned in late 2023, this is a splendid example of this classic Saratoga. It has loads of whittle character in the glass, an applied double taper top and a crisp mold impression.

Embossed: CONGRESS & EMPIRE SPRING CO / C (large open block letter) / SARATOGA N. Y. // CONGRESS / WATER

Height:  7 7/8" 
Color: deep emerald green

Condition: Near mint - there is a teeny sliver off the collar that is barely there and mentioned for accuracy. Plus a few very light scuffs and wear only in a few spots. Otherwise, clean as a whittle and structurally perfect with no chips, cracks. A fine example from an exceptional collection of mineral waters.
