Antique Hand-Blown Glass Bottle Square Pontil Bubbles 1800s
A wonderful example of early American or European hand-blown glass, this square-bodied bottle features classic characteristics of 19th-century glassmaking. The bottle has a tapered cylindrical neck with a rolled lip finish, chamfered corners on the square body, and a recessed pontil mark on the base - all hallmarks of pre-machine-made glass production. Scattered seed bubbles and small inclusions are visible throughout the glass walls, further confirming hand manufacture. The glass has a slight smoky gray tint, which can indicate natural mineral content in the sand used or very early sun-induced amethyst coloration still developing. The base shows age-appropriate grime and soil deposits consistent with long-term storage or ground recovery. Surface scratches and light wear are present on the body panels. No chips or cracks observed. No embossing or label markings visible. Approximate dimensions based on photos: roughly 7 to 8 inches tall, 2 to 2.5 inches square at the body. Empty and no stopper included. A charming piece for bottle collectors, farmhouse decor, or antique glass enthusiasts.
