Title: Cobalt Blue Bottle with Ground Pontile and Twisted Neck
Post by: Clive on March 31, 2025, 08:47:45 PM

Bottle has hand painted design on. 8 sided, with ground pontile, and some other grinding on base. neck is twisted, and very slightly uneven, so definitely hand made.
I'd be grateful if anybody can shed any light on when it was made, where it was made and purpose?
I did a brief google image search, but nothing that similar came up.
Thanks in advance,
Clive

  Pillar molded, probably a bar bottle. Similar here with traces of gilthttps://jeffreysevans.com.auction/pair-of-rare-swirled-pillar-molded-pint-decanters/ (https://jeffreysevans.com.auction/pair-of-rare-swirled-pillar-molded-pint-decanters/). Amethyst example with same base treatment.
