#2290 Very nice flint glass spill holder
Very nice flint glass spill holder. This piece was meant to hold spills which where rolled pieces of paper or finely shaved rolled pieces of wood which were used to light whale oil and fluid lamps. Many spill holders have glass which is often cloudy on the inside bottom due to their use as spooners in their later life. This piece has some cloudiness. In very good condition with no cracks or chips, has some minor roughness on some of the corner high points. Some bubbles and slag in the glass. Ground and polished pontil on the bottom. Normal wear on the bottom. Approximate size: 5" tall, the mouth is 3 1/2" wide and the base is 3" wide. Shipping weight = 2 lbs.
