GROUP of 3 pontil ink bottles One with early Providence, RI label:
$92.00
Here are three (3) inkwells / bottles selling as one auction... you win ALL three!
They are all 1830-50s sided inkwells, varying degrees of aqua color, with good clarity. Two of the three are umbrella (8 sided and 12 sided) forms. The most important example is the one with a 90% complete label, "North Main St, PROVIDENCE, RI by H. BURRINGTON, Chemist and Druggist"... who also appears on embossed bottles from Providence. I don't recall ever seeing one of these labels before. Most importantly, that bottle and the label are in excellent condition!
This is a nice early lot that just came out of a sale in New England. The center (12 sided bottle) has a base crack hidden along the edge, but the other two are in fine condition. The real value is with the label piece... it is a nice one!
THREE EARLY BOTTLES... ONE AUCTION!
