1893 Chicago World's Fair Flask - Etched Glass - World's Columbian Exposition - Crystal - FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING

Glass : Antique

 

Here's Luck! This glass flask with its cheerful motto is an unusual find indeed. I know, because I've been looking for another similar flask from the World's Columbian Exposition, and simply cannot find one anywhere. Amazing that it has survived these 100+ years so successfully.

Condition is grand. The glass is as near perfect as you might wish, with only the tiniest of nibbles along the crisp ground bottom edge which is greatly magnified in the photograph, but virtually invisible to the eye alone. There is appropriate wear on the ground bottom, and the neck hole is charmingly off center, testament to the handmade nature of this piece, as is the odd bubble. There is a dent in the original metal, cork-lined cap; odd, as it would seem that the metal cap should be more durable than the fragile glass flask. Stands 5" tall, a nice portable size.

A real prize for a collector.
