Liberty flask

[jane8851]

I'm optimistically posting in "before 1900". Found today at a yard sale a glazed brown pottery flask about 5 1/2" tall embossed Liberty on both sides and a portrait of who I think is Columbia also on both. Bottom has number markings but I can't really make them out. So, what is it and how old?

Any help always appreciated!

Looks modern to me Jane, 1950-60's, but I don't know a thng about them. Hopefully I'm wrong....Jim

Probably you're right. I'm leaning that way too. Does anyone know who made it and when?

I agree that it probably isn't that old but the form is REAL nice and I want to follow this thread for the education value.

I think these were made for one of the bottle clubs or shows or something in the 60's or 70's... I had looked into a similar one a while back but cant quite remember...

If anyone remembers anything please chime in. It almost looks like a Bennington type pottery. I'd love to know more about it.
