Pontiled Black Glass Gin

 

 

 

 

 

Circa 1810-1830 Black Glass Case Gin - Pig Nose Style Top

A large case gin with "legs" and a crude applied pig nose style top. The glass is thin (earlier) and the pontil is a tubular, open. The sides are slightly concave, very crude. Never tumble cleaned, natural patina.

Unembossed

Height:  10 1/4"  

Color: deep olive green

Condition: excellent - perfect structurally (no dings, chips, cracks, etc.). Clean, with only normal base wear on the points. The only issue is that one of the corners has a glob of what may be old paint or spackle adhered to the outside corner (see pics) - I didn't want to take time to try to remove it but it would likely be dissolved with mineral spirits, etc.

Reference Number:  WC5

Price: $99
