GXIII-53 BALTIMORE ANCHOR GLASS WORKS - PHOENIX RESURGAM HISTORICAL FLASK, cherry-red puce, pint, applied flat band/collar mouth, smooth base. Baltimore Glass Works. 1860-1870. 7 1/2" H.
Literature: McKearin/Wilson - American Bottles & Flasks and Their Ancestry, p. 664.
Catalogue Note: A singular example of this popular flask in a truly unique color, more red than puce, with the thinner shoulder glass showing through pinkish puce, and thicker areas showing cherry or almost blood red when light is passed through these zones. A great demonstration of the vibrancy and variety of color that Baltimore glass is best known for.
Condition
Virtually undamaged with just some very minute nicking at lip, much of it probably as made.
Collection of the late Al and Billy Steidel, Alexandria, VA.
