An odd-colored sided soda or mineral water with a frosted pontil scar. Lots of crude character with a potstone glob, etc. (stable, no hairlines).

Circa 1850-1855 Light Bluish Teal 8-Sided Superior Mineral Waters
| Embossed |
SUPERIOR // - // - // MINERAL // - // WATERS // - // - // |
| Color |
an light blend of icy blue, aqua, and teal green (not any one shade) |
| Height |
7 1/2" |
| Top |
applied tapered blob |
| Base |
frosted improved pontil scar (no iron residue) |
Structural Condition |
perfect structurally with no chips, cracks or bruises. There is a 1/4" potstone in the "E" of "Waters" that adds crudity and has no unstable issues or hairlines. |
| Surface Condition |
very good considering that this does not appear to ever have been polish cleaned. There is some overall dullness but no stain, per se. It does have some spotty high point wear and light scuffing here and there. A quick tumble cleaning would erase most of this, but I like the natural state character as is. |
