“GENERAL WASHINGTON” / BUST OF WASHINGTON – “E PLURIBUS UNUM” / EAGLE / “T.W.D. – ADAMS & JEFFERSON / JULY 4 A.D. 1776 – KENSINGTON GLASS / WORKS PHILADELPHIA” Historical Flask, Kensington Glass Works, 1826 - 1835. Light aquamarine, sheared mouth – blowpipe pontil scar, Pt; (a couple of patches of light interior milkiness, and just a slight trace of very light wear, otherwise excellent). GI-14.

Note; the mold impression is just a bit weak in the shoulder, as is often the case with this mold. The GI-14 ‘firecracker’ flask is arguably one of the most historical molds of all the figured flasks. On July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years from the date of their signing of the Declaration of Independence, former Presidents Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died within five hours of each other. This flask commemorates these two Presidents, this historic event, General Washington, as well as the American eagle, and the glassmaker, Thomas W. Dyott.

A lot of flask for the money!
