Doughtnut top Miguel Piris soda

[captcadillac]

We won this N.O. bottle recently on ebay. Love the doughnut lips.
It was cleaned up with Barkeeper's Friend to see if there were any cracks, missing glass, weak points, etc.
Plan to clean it some more.
Don't know the value of it, but we always love having any true doughnut lip sodas that are pontiled.

That's a nice bottle; it has some great character and an attractive pontil. I also like the sand-worn effect, it looks as if it was dredged up from lake Pontchartrain or the like.

I don't exactly where it was found. It did come from the N.O. area and I think it was a dug bottle. However, I am not sure.
Thanks for the compliment.

Hey Kekoa,

Mele Kalikimaka to'ya. That is a real beauty. thanks for showing us.

To me there's a big romance factor to some of the early Nawlins bottles. I mean just look at Miguel here, not just 334 Royal, but "No. 334 Royal Street. And that Doughnut finish is PHAT like a Mardis Gras hat. A pillowy beignet, if ever I saw one, made outta a green aqua glass.

Could'ya devote some pictures to the embossing, please? I wanna see that "No. 334" loud and clear.

"It is believed that Miguel Piris is the man who introduced seltzer water to New Orleans. Miguel Piris was in the brewery business in 1846 before becoming a soda/mineral water dealer. During his brewery business there was misspelling of his name to "Mitchell Peres" and during his soda business there was misspelling of his name to Migull Piris. He never left the 334 Royal Street even while changing the business from brewery to soda. He sold his business in 1854 to Peter Pons." From.
