‘Red’ hot Baker’s Orange Grove Bitters on this Hot Texas day!
10 June 2019 | Monday
Dear Mr. Meyer,
I am the project historian for the San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site, located just west of Houston on I-10 near Sealy. Our village, the home of Stephen F. Austin, was burned in March 1836. The Texas Historical Commission has been excavating a number of sites as part of our development of a new museum.
I am analyzing archeological artifacts for a furnishings plan for several reconstructed log cabins at the site. I have found the Peachridge Glass website to be very helpful, and in fact was looking for a contact for Mark Vuono to ask a question about a glass fragment that appears to me to be from a scroll flask. When I noticed that you are a Houston-area neighbor I thought I would start with you.
My first question for Mr. Vuono (and for you as well) is if this fragment looks to your experienced eye to be from a scroll flask? If so, would the size of star varied among the sizes of flasks, and if so, is it possible to determine the size of this flask based only on the surviving piece?
I very much would appreciate any insight. Please feel free to comment or put me in touch with Mr. Vuono.
I have a number of glass items that I am trying to identify and find usable copies (preferably reproduction) to use in my furnishings for a “hands-on” exhibit.
Thank you for any insight or help.
Michael
[PRG] I was able to confirm that it was indeed a star fragment from an aqua scroll flask. A quick study looks like it might be from a Louisville Glass Works quart scroll.
