Here is a killer little bottle I recently procured in the strangest of ways. The story of how I got it will come out in the future either through Peachridge glass' site or possibly in a Bottles and extras article. It is a nice 4 3/4" cobalt bottle with completely smooth base. From my research I think it is a Baltimore bottle. It has not chips or cracks, but does have some stain. It is light bulb thin so I think tumbling is out of the question. The embossing is a little bit weak, but from what I know most of them are.

I have always wanted one, and now here it is! Thanks for looking!

A bit of white paint to bring out the embossing. I do not like it, but I did it for pics sakes. The bubble on the front panel is not onion skinned it is intact.

I will keep it for a while then pass it on to someone who loves, and collects this type of bottle. It is beautiful, but not what I truly collect.
