Midwestern Bottle, plain with a applied lip ca. 1815-1835. These types of bottles are often attributed to the Pittsburgh region.  The applied lip is similar to the bottle that is pictured in American Glass Volume 1 and 2 on pg 136.  That bottle was passed down through generations and is attributed to New Geneva Glass Works.  We are not saying this piece is New Geneva and would not stretch the attribution.  However, we do want to point out that this bottle has a similar applied lip. And bottles from that region have similar applied lips. This compels us to believe it's possibly a midwestern type bottle.  This bottle is in excellent condition. ~SOLD~

Excellent condition!  You don't find examples like this everyday. This is the Real Deal! ~SOLD~

11in Olive Amber Midwestern Bowl, Ogee Form, folded outward rim, rough pontil scar with some push up.  Large midwestern bowls are becoming harder to find. However, the color on this one is spectacular.  Almost all olive but changes different colors in light. This bowl also was found in the Ohio area bought from a large collection.  Great condition with minimal inside wear from use, outside of bowl flawless.
