Curatorial Remarks

Note

Miscellaneous: With SS.61.67, this bottle nearly forms a pair. However, to judge by minute differences in impressions, color, etc. both did not come from the same mold, although it is highly probable that they were produced in the same house. Arlene Palmer, Curator of Glass and Ceramics, Winterthur Museum, states New England Glass Company ad shows similar Gothic bottles (8/21/1978).
