A. BININGER & SON, NEW YORK APPLIED SEAL BLACK GLASS WINE / SPIRITS BOTTLE, very dark olive green/black glass, tall cylindrical form blown in an unmarked three-piece mold, applied round seal at midsection embossed "A. BININGER & SON / BROAD / WAY / NEW YORK", applied tapered double collar mouth, kicked-up base with off-center disk pontil mark. It once had a rectangular paper label with chamfered corners, which has fallen off but is still present, and which reads "Sr. H. H. (illegible) / Madeira". Abraham Bininger & Son, New York, NY. Circa 1830. 11 3/4" H, 3 1/4" D base.
Literature: Jim Bender - A. M. Bininger Bottles, p. 40, seal no. BPK-5; unlisted in David Burton - Antique Sealed Bottles 1640-1900 and the families who owned them.
Catalogue Note: Applied seal Bininger bottles are notoriously tough to find, and are well known as the earliest Bininger bottles from the famously confusing and long-lived New York operation. In fact, most of the well-known Bininger figural bottles were marketed by Abram M. Bininger, who is believed to be a cousin of the Abraham Bininger (born in 1740, died in 1836), the merchant for which these applied seal bottles are believed to have been blown. This particular seal is listed by Bender and known on a broken bottle; at the time of publication there were no known whole examples. This particular bottle is part of a small assemblage which descended through the Pierrepont family, originally of Brooklyn, NY. Monticello acquired this group from Anne Pierrepont Luquer, great-great-great granddaughter of Hezekiah B. Pierrepont, each bottle said to have come from the famed Pierrepont family wine cellars in Brooklyn Heights, with many having related paper labels. The Pierreponts were an 18th and 19th century New York mercantile dynasty whose patriarch, Hezekiah Beers Pierrepont, is most famous for his 1790s seafaring adventures and unlucky involvement in the complicated geopolitical issue of "French spoliation". Hezekiah chartered a ship named the Confederacy, partaking in lucrative international trade without incident until 1797 when his ship and all its cargo were stolen/seized by French privateers (pirates). The Confederacy and its cargo were soon sold at public auction in Nantes. Aboard the ship was a large quantity of Madeira, at least some of which was re-purchased by Pierrepont at that auction, and re-imported to New York City. This Bininger bottle's presence in the Pierrepont assemblage with an old Madeira label is potentially noteworthy, although the contents are long gone, and any relationship between the two merchants is unknown.
Condition
Undamaged, with nothing more than minor wear/scratching and some brown interior residue or staining.
