One of my earliest finds, found amid a bunch of bottles in a "thrown over the hill" dump behind an estate in Pittsburgh. Weyman's Snuff is embossed at the base. Just came across it again today when I was going through stored stuff to cull out stuff to put in a yard sale (No, not parting with any of my bottles or dug stuff) It is about 6 1/2 inches tall, bottom is 3" diameter, flares out to about 4 1/2 " at shoulder, than narrows in to neck, neck is 1 1/2 " tall, flares out again to 3" diameter at top. Looks like it would have had a cork-type stopper. It is a greyish-beige clay or stoneware, has a few crazes and a chip on the side, shiny glaze that appears to be clear on inside and outside. I've never found anything about it in any references. I'm sure it's nothing special, but its a treasure to me because of where found and because it was one of my firsts. If anybody has seen these, or knows anything about them, would love to learn more. Durn, I wish I had a digital camera. Thanks in advance.
