This is a mouth-blown, Bristol blue bottle decanter dating from the mid 19th century.
The bottle is in good condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows the age related wear and tear consistent with some 100 years of use.
The bottle is blown in “Bristol” blue glass and is cylindrical with a tapered neck section. The round pouring lip sits above a ten-sided vertically panel-cut neck and a cylindrical body that measures 7.5 cm (3 inches) in diameter at the base. There is a polished out pontil mark on the underside of the base. The bottle is engraved with a band of foliage and six-petal flowers. The bottle is 29.5 cm (11.8 inches) in height. There are a couple of tiny chips out of the edge of the base. There are no other chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.
Weighing in at 420 g. (~ 15 oz.).
