Description
For your consideration: a TRIO BOTTLE LOT of C & B food bottles / fruit jars. These were all blown in aqua glass batch into two-part private molds and finished with applied ring lips in the late 1850's - '60's period. These were recovered in Philadelphia privy excavations over the last several years. They are all in very good dug condition with some ground wear and frosting. They are all three - free of damage. Nice bubbles, folding, and crudeness throughout. Some attractive poly-chromatic iridescence here and there. All are embossed " C & B ", differently. One has the initials embossed on the heel as seen. The other two are embossed on the base; also differently. Here you have three different molds. They measure from 7 1/8" - 7 3/4" x 2 15/16" - 3 1/8".
