Circa 1850-1855 Pontiled Philly Squat - L. RELL

Until we dug a few of these in a single hole, there were only 2 or 3 known, and I've never seen any others. It's a robust sized Dyottville squat, with the name in a rectangular slug plate. Very deep kickup iron pontil, gloppy applied double taper top. This would be a $400 bottle but it has 2 minor issues, see below.

Embossed: L. RELL // DYOTTVILLE GLASS WORKS / PHILAD.A

Height: 7 5/8"  
Color: deep grass green

Condition: this is a very nice looking example with only two minor structural issues. The collar has a 1/4" wide flake, and under the bottom there is a 1" crack associated with the pontil (likely from manufacturing). Other than that, just some patchy haze and stty light wear.

Reference Number: 3005

Price: $100
