MEAS.8 1/4"H by 5 1 4/"W by 1 1/8"rimweight 1lb 10.0oz     THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL FINE AND EARLY PIECE OF NAILSEA. CAME FROM A FABULOUS AUCTION HELD IN OHIO. THE CONDITION OF THIS PIECE IS REMARKABLE. TRULY OUTSTANDING. ABSOLUTELY FREE OF APOLOGY. THERE ARE NO CRACKS, DIVOTS, OR REPAIRS OF ANY KIND TO THE FLASK. COLOURS ARE AMAZING. RICH, CRISP, AND VIBRANT. BRIGHT RED, MILKY WHITE, AND COBALT BLUE.  RIBBONED AND SWIRLED WITH A STRKING FEATHER-PULLED EFFECT. THERE IS ONE DARK SPOT IN THE GLASS. I THINK IT IS AN AIR BUBBLE OR GRAIN OF SOMETHING WHICH WAS TRAPPED IN THE MAKING. THE GLASS IS THICK, OPAQUE RIM AND NO FLEA BITES. THE QUALITY OF THE GLASS ITSELF IS GORGEOUS. HAS A RIBBED TEXTURE ON CERTAIN AREAS WHICH I DID MY BEST TO PHOTOGRAPH. IT'S HARD TO SEE THE SMALL RIPPLES OF GLASS, BUT THEY CAN BE FELT WITH YOUR FINGERTIPS AND THE FEEL OF THE GLASS IS WONDERFUL TO HOLD IN YOUR HANDS. BEAUTIFULLY TEXTURED AND SHAPED.      THE OWNER TRULY CARED FOR THIS PIECE OF GLASS AND FASHIONED HIS OWN HOLDER/STAND FOR DISPLAY. I LOVE THIS STAND. IT IS CERTAINLY OLD AND A LITTLE WEATHERED WITH AGE. BUT, IT WAS MADE AND DESIGNED FOR THIS SPECIFIC FLASK.  I FIND IT A CHARMING TOUCH. I THINK THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARY PIECE OF NAILSEA. BEATIFULLY STRIATED AND SUPERBLY TEXTURED. DYNAMIC AND COLOURFUL. WOULD MAKE AN EXEMPLARY DISPLAY IN ANY COLLCTION OF FLASKS, ART GLASS, OR NAILSEA COLLECTORS.     IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WISH ADDITIONAL PICTURES, I AM HAPPY TO ASSIST.
