Small Goldfields Salad Oil - Thatchers type. Wide defined pontil scar to base. Goldfields, Salad Oil Six Gothic Arches around the body Diamond type flat panels up the neck and shoulder. A very crude tool finished top. Aqua. 5 oz. 217 mm 1840s - 1850s
Excellent (8). I'd guess it has had a light polish to remove haze but there are scratches and small marks all around. The top is really interesting, looks like the makers decided there was enough glass there and stretched it with the tools they used at the time to form a kind of lip. Very distinct fat pontil scar to the base. A real beauty of this style. Estimate: $100-150
