 Early, Long neck ‘Flowerpot-form’ Wine or Utility Bottle, probably France, 1730 – 1750. Rich, medium emerald green, long neck ‘flowerpot-form’, crudely applied band collar – kick-up base with blowpipe pontil scar, ht. 11”; (some typical light usage wear; a 1 ½” sliver-type chip from beneath the collar, likely in-manufacture, and some interior content residue or faint haze, some of which is likely washable). A beautiful example filled with tiny bubbles, very rare form and color!

Note; the ‘crizzled’ appearance through the shoulder area is dried content residue, and not in the glass. It should wash out. A very eye-appealing, early wine, great color.

 ALLEN WOGA / 1/2. ST." (on applied seal), Early Case Bottle, probably Continental, possibly blown for a New Orleans merchant; 1770 - 1800. Light yellowish green, rectangular case form, sheared mouth with applied string rim – blowpipe pontil scar, ht. 7 ¼"; (trace bit of faint interior haze, otherwise perfect). Purchased in the 1960's from an elderly woman in east Texas, Charlotte Woga. The bottle had been in her family and belonged to one of her ancestors, an early New Orleans merchant.

Note; we have received further clarification on this early sealed case bottle. A friend and very knowledgeable collector from Germany emailed us to confirm that the seal is “ALTENWOGA”. In addition, the “1/2. ST.” refers to the quantity, a ½ a Stoof. Altenwoga was a glass factory in Latvia near the capital Riga, famous for the sealed bottles of Riga Balsam. We sold this same example approximately six years ago. To our knowledge, no other examples have come to light, or have been offered through auction.

 Giant, Early Snuff or Storage Jar, Continental, probably Dutch, 1830 – 1850.

When snuff jars of this size are encountered, they are typically rectangular. A rare size and form. Note; The sheared mouth is very crude and has a tooling mark with a little extra glass around two inches of the rim.  
11 $ 475
  Mammoth size, Early Case Bottle, Continental, probably Germany or Netherlands, 1780 – 1800. Yellowish olive with a slight amber tone, square case form with virtually straight sides, sheared mouth with applied string rim – blowpipe pontil scar, ht. 18 7/8”, near mint; (a little typical minor exterior wear, some light interior content residue, otherwise perfect). A great example, excellent clarity, fantastic overall condition, and at nearly 19”, a very rare and desirable size!

Case bottles of this size are rarely offered for sale. Check you notes as well as the auction records. At virtually 19”, this is one of the largest examples offered in more than 20 years.
