#2504 flint EAPG spill holder with small crosses or stars in the design
Please excuse the lean in the photo it is from the photographer and not the spill holder. Very nice flint EAPG spill holder with small crosses or stars in the design. 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 a small amount of cloudiness in the bottom. In EXCELLENT condition, NO chips/cracks/dings/etc. It does have some annealing marks and some minor roughness on several of the mold lines. It does have normal wear on the bottom and a ground and polished pontil along with some excess glass and a mark remaining from the pontil. Approximate size: 5 1/4" tall, the mouth is 3" wide and the base is 2 7/8" wide. Shipping weight: 2 lbs.
