Circa 1850 New York Pontiled Pony Soda - W. EAGLE, Vestry , Varick & Canal Sts

This slender pony style soda has an applied chunky blob top and loads of crisp embossing. Also has a nice "Union Glass Works" color. Iron pontiled. The only issue is a subtle crack following the pontil contour, probably from making. It has lots of micro seed bubbles and glass character.

Embossed: W. EAGLE / VESTRY, VARICK, / & CANAL STS. // PREMm / SODA WATER / UNION GLASS WORKS / PHILA

Height: 7 3/4" 
Color: deep bluish green

Condition: would be near mint except for the pontil-associated crack in the base which runs about 2" around the pontil - totally stable and hard to see. It also has a very hard to see ghost bruise in the lip (see pic below). The bottle is otherwise undamaged and clean. It came from a collection and the buyer paid $175 for it some years ago.

Reference Number:  GW134

Price: $95
