Any ideas on the sugar bowl anyone? 18 ribs. It was given to a caretaker by a resident in a nursing home in MA.

Red, the rigaree that i spoke of on the mineral bottle is the applied collar... sorry the picture is a little blurry

Ok and thank you Jordan. I always think of applied ribbon ruffled glass on products for decoration. I haven't seen reference of it being a functional applied glass purpose. If you have other reference reasoning, please let me know where to look.

Twowheelfan, the black glass is some of my favorite too. Not an expert though, is this one considered an ale form?

 

[twowheelfan]

I have no whole examples that old and am not experienced enough to speak with authority, but do have 8 or so three piece molds with a similar lip style from 1840-1870 context that are about 9-10 inches tall that are considered ales. From the picture i can't tell the size. If this about that size I would say ale is a pretty good guess.

... cologne from... ? value?

Google's not helping much on this one. Anyone know anything? I've seen a milk glass and opaque blue of the same form...

Not my area of collecting, but aren't these going to fall under Sandwich glass out of Boston area? Or New England Glass Co...?

The blackwoods is a fairly basic penny ink, made a bit nicer by the base embossing. Still probably no more than a $15 or $20 bottle.

I'm going to say the red well is victorian era generally, and will fetch you somewhere in the $50 to $100 range.

That first flask is a doozie. Is that color pretty accurate? If so, that's a real good one. IP on one of those has to also make it far less common...
