Blue Soda - Heiss (Star)

 

 

 

 

 

Circa 1850-1855 Pontiled Blue Philly Soda - Heiss

This is one of the classic Philly sodas that seems harder and harder to find. There are variants with and without the star - this is the one with the star. It has a nice applied taper top and an iron pontiled bottom with full residue.

Embossed: (5-pointed star) / HEISS (large filled block letters) / PHILAD.A // H / UNION GLASS WORKS / PHILAD.A

Height: 7 3/4"  
Color: steely cobalt blue

Condition: an uncleaned bottle that has some overall light scratchiness and dullness but it would polish clean nicely. Nice glowy patina as is. Almost perfect structurally - only slight issue is a 1/8" tiny ding near the lip (no chips or roughness).

Reference Number: SH496

Price: $295
