I.P. Blue Philly Soda - CONWAY

 

 

 

 

 

Circa 1850 Pontiled Steely Cobalt Philly Soda - P. CONWAY

This is a classic Philly pontiled soda that is found in various shades of green and cobalt blue. This example is an unusual steely color. The top is an applied blob. The bottom has a terrific iron pontil with loads of iron residue (see pic).

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

Height: 7 1/2"  
Color: cobalt blue

Condition: perfect structurally (no chips, dings, or cracks). This bottle does have some patchy stain that would polish clean nicely if desired. Spotty light wear. It has never been tumble cleaned and I prefer the natural glowy look myself. A great example.
