Chestnut shaped Wine or Spirit bottle. Applied handle. Off centre punt to base. Early Glass Wine Chestnut shape. Applied ring around crudely finished top. Applied handle. Off centre punt to base. Pint. 172 mm. 1840s-1850s
Excellent. Magnificent early version of this type. Must have just missed being pontilled and the base is very crudely pushed to one side. A couple of little fleabites and pinpricks around the lip. Just a few light scuffs and scratches. Wonderful deep red amber colour.
