This is a GREAT pre-owned antique condition codd-style bottle with a black marble stopper. The bottle is embossed with the word DECO on one side and then base embossing on the bottom is V , 96 , 17 , 427457 and the mark of a capital K inside of a capital G (so that the G wraps around the K). Approximately measures 8.25" tall x 2.5" wide in diameter across the bottom base. The top width is about 1" wide in diameter with an opening .625". Collar is a little over 1.125" tall. The glass is a heavy glass appropriate to the original purpose of the bottle, weighing in a little over 1 lb 5 oz. The presence of air bubbles and two side seams support that glass was BIM or blown in mold. The bottom, which has a glass thickness of about .75" is a molded base but cannot tell definitively if there was a iron pontil or perhaps sand pontil used. I tried to take good pictures so that you could decide. The rim of the base does have a slightly rough texture and there is also what looks like could be some residual on the outside edge of the embossed inner circle. The finish is a tapered style with a thin transfer bead and neck ring. The gasket that initially held the marble is still present. This bottle is definitely very vintage and we believe is antique, possibly dating to the end of the 1800s or into the first part of the 1900s. We could not locate the makers mark or style of bottle anywhere and so could not rely upon dates of company operation or additional information from other collectors. We present as vintage and believed to be antique dating. This is a GREAT pre-owned antique condition codd-style bottle with a black marble stopper.
