Mug Based IP Soda - Union Glass Works

 

 

 

 

 

UNION GLASS WORKS SUPERIOR MINERAL WATER - Mug-Based Philadelphia Soda, Circa 1848-1852
Here is a decent mug-based soda that is in a funky icy teal-hued cornflower color. It's nice and clean and would be priced much higher if not for a cork pry lip bruise. The blob top is applied and the bottom has an iron pontil (no residue left).

Embossed: UNION GLASS WORKS PHILAD. / SUPERIOR / MINERAL WATERS // (empty rectangular slug on reverse)

Height: 7 5/8"  
Color: light greenish cornflower blue

Condition: would be near mint except that it has a 1/2" cork pry bruise with maybe a pinhead sized wear spot on the lip, no chips or cracks. Also has a 1/4" scuff in the shoulder. Otherwise, just trace haze spots and trace wear.

Reference Number: 3520

Price: $240
