Circa 1850 Lime Green Pontiled Squat
I dug this in the summer of 2023 in Philly in a late 40's privy layer. I can't recall finding a pontiled squat in this color which is a yellowish lime-hued green.
Embossed |
none |
Color |
lime-hued grass green |
Height |
7 1/2" |
Top |
applied double taper |
Base |
improved pontil with heavy frosting and residual iron residue |
Structural Condition |
perfect structurally - no damage |
Surface Condition |
a dug bottle that has only been rinsed out, so it has patchy stain and overall spotty wear that is partly associated with the hundreds of micro-bubbles. A polish cleaning might be worthwhile, but old natural character as is. |

This bottle is in the middle to show the color difference, but it still doesn't show the brightness of the lime hue
