Welcome to Fantastic Finds by Finn
Antique Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) PILLAR and DIAMOND CRUET/CATSUP
with Original Ground Stopper.
Pattern: Pillar and
Diamond (OMN)
AKA: Diamond
Richards & Hartley Glass Company
Pittsburgh/Tarentum-PA, Company Operated: 1865-1891.
Introduced circa 1877.
Notes:
I have seen similar shaped cruets with a cross stopper identified
as part of altar sets during my research.
This may have been from such a set but I cannot conform. I soaked the cruet and stopper overnight and removed
about 90% of the deposits and crud from within and the handle areas. It may benefit from an additional soaking and
the use of a small brush within the body.
I used a tooth pick to remove almost all of the deposits from the handle
areas after soaking but some still remains.
Maybe an additional soaking and the gentle use of a soft probe may
remove the left over deposits.
Condition:
Very nice condition for its age.
Some residue appears on the inside of the cruet which can be seen in the
pictures. Also the stopper has a chip on
the top. Shown and marked in the
pictures. Also noted was what appears to
be a flake/chip on the underside of the base and some roughness can be felt. Some deposits are also visible where the
handle is applied to the body. Please
view all the pictures for they are part of the description.

Height: 9 ¼ inches to
top of stopper.
Width: 3 inches
diameter of the widest point of the body.

diameter.
