American Glass Gallery’s Auction 6 Opens today. I am in-between meetings here in Nashville today and sneaked a peak only to be stopped and stunned on the first auction page with this beautiful pink lilac G140c, Washington | Taylor pint flask. John Pastor has it written up as follows:
“The Father of His Country” / Bust of Washington – “Gen. Taylor Never Surrenders” / Bust of Taylor Historical Flask, Dyottville Glass Works, Philadelphia, PA, 1845 – 1855. Gorgeous medium pink lilac, sheared mouth – pontil scar, pt; (professionally cleaned to original luster with some remaining exterior wear and a pontil chip that extends to the edge of the base). GI-40c (rare mold). An exceptional, incredible, stunning color! The only other example noted in this color was from the George Austin sale. Estimate: $10,000 – $20,000
