The group over at facebook on Bottle Collectors and Early American Glass Collectors have been posting some great pictures of unembossed bottles and jars. I have created this gallery to celebrate these beautiful glass pieces primarily from New England. As usual, I will continue to add more pictures.

Utility Bottles and Jars

W.C. WOODWORTH, WINDHAM, CONNECTICUT – Here is the jar. The story goes that all the Connecticut boys, including Charlie, were after this jar since the fifty’s but the lady would never sell My good friend Joe Zarro bought it off her son after she passed. Joe loved this jar so much he would only sell it to me if I bought his entire utility collection. – Eric Correla

Couple of fresh green utilities – John April (Michael George: The little one is New Hampshire. I can’t say for sure about the other two, but the color, style and pontil look identical. The 12-sided salve is a well-known Keene – Stoddard bottle)

Too hot on the roof. I guess I’ll have to play bottles. – Eric Correla (Mark Yates: First the form and color. I believe they are E. Waters, Troy, New York) (Jeff Noordsy: E. Waters used these bottles for blacking. The label is uber-cool.)

This “mustard jar” came out of the pit dug by Roy Topka that produced numerous Brinckerhoff’s, Phoenix Bitters and the Icelandic Balm for Pulmonary Consumption. I have always assumed it to be Mount Vernon Glass Works or Mount Pleasant Glass Works. Has a tubular pontil the size of a quarter and lots of interesting mold marks…- Jeff Noordsy
Love the utilities, probably my favorite type of bottle to dig.
