Circa 1850 Pontiled Genuine Essence

This is a long rectangular essence bottle with a crude rolled lip, beveled corners, and an open pontiled bottom. It's unusual because the embossed is pushed to the top 70% of the front, whereas the usual examples stretch the embossing across the who front panel.

Embossed: GENUINE ESSENCE

Height: 5 1/8" 
Color: light aqua

Condition: perfect structurally with no chips, dings, cracks or bruises. It's an uncleaned bottle that has some patchy haze, and overall light scratchiness. It could easily be polish cleaned, good embossing. Nice patina as is - glowy rather than shiny.

Reference Number:  GW430

Price: $28
