| | Freeblown Demijohn, Continental, probably Germany, Black Forest Region, 1830 1850. Medium-to-deep olive amber, almost a yellowish old amber, cylindrical, funnel-type neck, sheared mouth with crudely applied string rim blowpipe pontil scar, ht. 14 7/8, virtually perfect; (some light, non-distracting, and almost certainly washable content residue). A very attractive and interesting demijohn, very similar to an example we sold in Auction #35. Fantastic condition, pleasing form and color.
Note; the sheared mouth and string rim are very crude with some glass slag and impurities adding nice character to this example.

| | Demijohn, New England, probably Westford Glass Works, Westford, CT, 1857 1873. Frothy, translucent, yellowish olive, cylindrical, 3-pc. mold, applied sloping collar smooth base, ht. 11 3/8, virtually perfect; (just a trace bit of light wear and some tiny, pinhead size or smaller, onionskin-thin open bubbles). Exceptional character, the glass is absolutely filled with tiny bubbles swirled through the entire bottle creating a frothy, translucent appearance.
