This one light hardley pass'es through it!!
It is extremely dark Cobalt in color and is definatley
from a late 17oo's glass house in the Mid Atlantic region.

Last up is my favorite scent bottle.This one could be Stiegel or Wistarburgh as the color is right
as other glass attributed to Caspar Wistars glass house.This bottle is extremly rare.
The bottle is about 3 and 1/4 inches in length.

Holy Stiegels & Wistarburghs, Steve,

That is some Bottle Royalty you're sporting. Lyres, Dancing Indians & Gothic Night, oh my...

Can you tell me more about this one? Is it British? Puts me in mind of a Fishers Seaweed Extract. What is the purpose of the bulbous neck design?

 

[Steve/sewell]

If I were to guess I would say my cologne bottle was from England.
This style bottle was popular in England and no doubt yours is from there.
As for the bulb itself purley decorative or did it allow for an easy grip also.
I can picture that area on each bottle being wrapped in gold paper.
If thats your bottle you have a nice one!!Those are quite rare in that color.
