Found this little battered lovely at Sandy Hook on the New Jersey coast right before Hurricane Sandy hit. It’s hard to tell from the picture but it’s a piece of a cobalt blue medicine bottle from Caswell Hazard &Co Chemists based in New York and Newport RI. It’s circa the 1870’s.
I got this decanter at an estate auction, they said it was old, but couldn't give any other info on it. After taking it home and examining it, the overlay art one side has a boat and clouds and it looks like the artist put his name into the clouds. I cannot really make out what it says, first...
