DescriptionBlown in a mold of four vertical sections and a plain base plate. The moldmarks extend in straight vertical lines along the edges of the panels to within approximately 0.6 cm (1/4 in.) of the lip. Neck and lip formed by tooling and shearing. The interior of the neck does not appear to be ground, so the bottle was probably intended to have a cork-seated patent stopper. Rough pontil mark.
