Description

***SHIPPING NOTICE*** (See below)

Hello!
I have a lot of glass to sell and all will be listed with no reserve.  I have been on Ebay since November of 1996 and I guarantee what I sell.  As always, please ask questions before the listing ends in order to avoid any confusion later.

This auction is for a nice EAPG Early American Pattern Glass 3 inch tall pressed clear flint lead glass bottle with matching ground stopper.  Not sure what the function of this bottle is.  Possibly a mucilage or inkwell, but could also be a perfume or a condiment bottle.  This has a rough pontil mark on the base and mouth is ground for the stopper.  Ellipse pattern from Richards and Hartley.  This does NOT match the Bryce Ellipse pattern which has a clear crease in the middle of the ellipses.  It matches the RnH Ellipse salt in the EAPGS database, including the base pattern.  This piece glows light blue under shortwave UV light.  This is an undocumented form in this pattern!

***Shipping Notice***  There has been an upswing in damaged packages in the last few years, as a result of poor or lazy packing on the part of the seller.  I have received items broken that would have been intact if properly packaged.
Rest assured that I tend to overpack my boxes.  I have shipped a few thousand boxes of glass and I can recall maybe 3 that arrived damaged.  Buy with confidence knowing that it will arrive in the same condition that you bought it in, barring some extreme actions by the post office or anything unforeseen.
Thank you!!
