Bowtie Sugar bottom without lid Thompson Glass Company,
Uniontown, PA c 1889. Thompson Glass # 18. AKA American Bowtie. The glass is
clear and heavy and any colors you see in the photographs are reflections from
indoors where I photographed the piece.
The sugar bottom has mold marks and straw marks and bubbles common in
this era of glassware. Manufactured in a
three-part mold. Very nice color and clarity and impression from the mold is
excellent. No chips or cracks that I can see or feel. There is wear on outside
bowties commensurate with age of piece. Very worn please refer to photographs. Five tool marks or mold imperfections
on top row of bowties. Please email with questions or comments. Weight before
packing 1.198 pounds. Height 4 5/8”, diameter at top 4 1/8".
