Dr. Townsend ' S Sarsaparilla. Open Pontil
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1340981 |
Here is without a doubt, the finest Townsend's I have ever handled. This one is super hard to let go. This one is an incredible "slope shoulder" example, with a huge applied top and a true open pontiled base. The color is a blue green, and every panel is hammered with whittle effect, and bubbles. The panels are squashed in, and askew. Embossed " Dr. Townsend's, Sarsaparilla, Albany, N.Y." I certainly am not an expert on all of the Townsend's molds, and variants, but this one is early a...nd unique with all of it's characteristics. Condition is about mint, and never cleaned. Maybe a light scratch or two. Just a top quality 1850s piece of glass. Purchased from Jeff Noordsy. You will love this Townsend's! Buyer to pay $14.85 postage in the US only. Good Luck!
