Early Victorian 1830-50 Nailsea Glass Flask

Antiques : Flask

 

This item is a nice, early Victorian Nailsea flask. It can be dated as pre 1850 due to the wide loops in the glass. When judging Nailsea, England glass, the distance between loops indicates the age. The closer the loops are to one another, the newer the item is.

This flask measures about 7" by 4" by 2" and it has about a one pint capacity.

It has a smooth lip with no flakes of any kind. None of the looping is chipped off, which can be a common issue. It has a snapped pontil and the glass is nice and clear, with no cloudiness.

This beautiful example is just one piece of Antique Nailsea in our shop, so please take a moment to browse our other offerings. We would be pleased to combine shipping on multiple items.

A note from the consignor: "I have been collecting fine Americana and decorative accessories for almost 38 years and have decided to consign my extensive collection with Cousins Antiques on Ruby Lane. I hope we can find new homes for my treasures where they will be appreciated by new owners."

Thank you for looking!
