I.P. Blue Philly Soda - CONWAY

 

 

 

 

 

Circa 1850 Pontiled Cobalt Blue Philly Soda - P. CONWAY

This iron pontiled soda has so much going for it, but also has damage in the applied blob top. I think this is an attic bottle that was never in the ground, super clean and wear-free. It has some blue swirl tones in the twisted neck, very nice character. It's priced way down because of the structural issue (see below).

Embossed: P. CONWAY / BOTTLER / PHILAD.A // No 8 HUNTER St / & / 108 FILBERT St / MINERAL WATERS

Height: 7 5/8"  
Color: deep purple-hued cobalt blue

Condition: would be an attic mint bottle except for 2 subtle cracks in the blob. One only goes about halfway down from the lip, but the other goes from the lip to the neck slightly below the blob. Very hard to see on the shelf.

Reference Number: GW386
