HENRY McHUGH

 

 

 

 

 

Circa 1860-1865 Green Squat - HENRY McHUGH, Market Steet, Philadelphia

I've never seen this deep green squat before obtaining this from a collection. It's smooth-based but incredibly crude with lots of micro bubbles and waviness in the glass. The top is an applied double taper. It has a 5 pointed star on the reverse.

Embossed:  HENRY McHUGH / 1842 MARKET / PHILADA // (open 5 pointed star)

Height: 7 1/8"  
Color: deep teal green

Condition: perfect structurally (no chips, cracks, dings or bruises) except for the slightest flea nip on the collar mentioned for total accuracy. Patchy light haze. The bottle has some spotty surface wear but it's hard to discern from the overall crude whittle. Neat character bottle.

Reference Number: SM2

Price: $76
