An early free-blown aqua half gallon with a heavy applied groove ring wax sealer mouth finish, and a pushed-in open pontil scarred base. Shiny glass and blown delicately thin. No damage with the exception of two faint dings in the side (one shown). The jar measures 7-3/4 inches tall and 5-1/8 inches in base diameter. A rare form and a beautiful example. Pittsburgh Glass manufacturing district, circa 1845-1855.
