Up for sale is a lovely antique hand-finished bottle in a soft aqua (blue-green) glass. The bottle has a flattened, oval body with a tooled/applied collar-style lip and a smooth oval base embossed with the number "12258," a mold-tracking number typical of glasshouses from the late 19th to early 20th century — this piece carries no maker or product name embossing, which is common for general-purpose apothecary, chemist, or household bottles of the era.
The glass shows the gentle waviness and soft aqua tone characteristic of early mold-blown glass, along with light scattered surface residue/staining and interior clouding consistent with age and years of storage — please see detailed photos for full item condition, as they best show the coloring, embossing, and surface character.
This is a great addition for a bottle collector, a farmhouse or apothecary-style display, repurposing as a bud vase, or simply enjoying as a piece of glass history.
I am always happy to consider any reasonable offer and will combine shipping.
Condition:
Pre-owned/antique condition. No chips, cracks, or other structural damage observed. Some exterior surface staining/residue spots and interior clouding/haze noted, consistent with age. Tooled lip shows typical minor irregularity from hand-finishing rather than damage.
