Antique Hand Blown Green Glass Onion Jug with Rough Pontil Base

A beautiful, highly characterful antique hand-blown Bristol Green glass serving jug/decanter. Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, this rustic bottle showcases wonderful antique glassmaking traits.

DESIGN FEATURES:
Form & Color: Features a wonderful squat, onion-shaped bulbous body rendered in a deep, vibrant emerald "Bristol Green" glass that catches the light beautifully.
Hand-Blown Workmanship: The applied loop handle is finished elegantly at the lower joint with a traditional pinched thumb-pad terminal.
Base: The underside features an exceptionally deep internal kick-up base containing an authentic, completely rough snap-pontil scar from the glassblower's pipe.

CONDITION:
Excellent antique condition. No cracks, major chips, or structural fractures. The interior is remarkably clean and free from heavy cloudiness or mineral scale. The exterior body shows completely honest, light scuffing and minor handling wear consistent with its 100+ years of age.
