General - Early American, Pre-Civil War Era 10-sided Soda Water Bottle. Hand blown, hand applied rounded taper, iron pontil base.

Bottle has Name, Address and Date embossed on glass, a seldom seen combination for bottles of this type and age. White spots seen in photos are from camera and not on bottle. KNICKER - BOCKER - SODA WATER - 164.

1848, on Five of the panels, the other Five panels are blank. Knickerbocker was not any part of the Proprietors name. It basically comes from a word New York author Washington Irving used in a book in 1809, to signify a New Yorker who could trace his or her ancestry to the original Dutch settlers. It also refers to pants worn by the early Dutch settlers called "Knickerbockers" or "Knickers". Glassworks - Most likely a nearby Eastern Glass House. Color - Deep Cobalt Blue. Size - 7-1/4" Tall and 2-5/8" at the base. Sturdy glass, weighs in at 15.4 ounces. Late 1840s to Early 1850s. Condition - Very Nice clean, crude example.

Extraordinary William Pond color, style and form. Mostly clear and clean glass. Also see full condition noted above.

Excellent, full 7/8 inch kicked-up iron pontil base with a very generous amount of reddish/grayish pontil rod residue left, complete with a ridge of glass and a vent/mold dot, next to the pontil scar. Whittle, mold and stretch marks present on the glass. Bottle stands slightly uneven (unsymmetrical) when placed on a flat surface and appears crooked when viewed from the side, please see photo 3.

Crudely blown glass from a bygone era for certain. Summary - Very nice example of a Pontil Era New York City 10-sided Soda Water. Nice Bottle for New York City or New York State Bottle/Glass collections, or would be a fine addition to any collection.
