Stiegel Chestnut - 9/15/2010 10:26:20 AM    Steve/sewell Posts: 4295 Joined: 1/23/2010 Status: offline This is another large Stiegel Chestnut flask that I acquired recently.The bottle is a very nice sea aqua color with lots of bubbles,potstones and the usual marking's of an 18th century bottle.This one looks to be in the 1765 to 1775 time frame of manufacture.The bottle is 10 inch's tall,6 inch's wide at its widest point,has a deep blow pipe pontil,plenty of base wear and a lip treatment that is out of this world .It almost looks exactly like a Wistar chestnut rolled lip but that it is upside down.Here it is on a nice sunny day.

RE: Stiegel Chestnut - 9/15/2010 1:53:55 PM    earlyglass   Posts: 1067 Joined: 12/21/2004 Status: offline Steve, I do like this one. Certainly 18th century, and a nice bright color. It could have been produced at a number of glasshouses and to be honest, Stiegel isn't top on my list, but as you mentioned in an earlier thread... we always lean toward or region. This looks like a possible New England Glassworks (Temple NH 1780) piece to me. I would have suspected Wistarburgh before Stiegel. There are 2 or 3 other strong possibilities as well. Please let me know if it ever needs a new home!  :) Mike (in reply to div2roty) Post #: 11

Clearly the bottle wants to be near the museums and history of DC. _____________________________ Collector of Delaware Bottles, figural bitters, early freeblown.

RE: Stiegel Chestnut - 9/15/2010 2:21:56 PM    earlyglass   Posts: 1067 Joined: 12/21/2004 Status: offline The dark basement of a museum is no place for a bottle. I can offer this baby bright lights, lots of love and other similar bottles to hang out with. I also caress my bottle twice daily! Something tells me neither of us has a chance!  :)   (in reply to div2roty) Post #: 13

My bottles sit out on late 1700-mid1 1800s furniture, or they sit on a window sill overlooking one of DCs park...and I only mention that so that you might be tempted to look at them here. http://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/My-bottles-moved-to-DC/m-338404/tm.htm _____________________________ Collector of Delaware Bottles, figural bitters, early freeblown.

Just another possibility to consider. Mark (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 17
