early 1870's version of this flask style bottle that has the curved R's,

bottle has lighter color swirls that go from the top to about 3/4 of the way
down towards the base. Mint condition
there is are two spots of internal haze (not bad) and a small spot of in the
making roughness on the ring below the lip. Only noted for accuracy, does not
take anything away from this very nice piece. No

quite easily be taken off. The last one of these I saw, sold at Glass Works
