Probably Keene Marlboro Street New Hampshire. Very rare and unusual blown three mold snuff or decanter that was recently unearthed in Brooklyn N.Y. The color is identical to the amethyst Justis Perry flasks produced at Keene. We know of only one other in this coloration. The bottle has some very light inside and outside stain but is not detracting. The lip has a flake and the base has a .75” chip. Despite the minimal damage this must be considered a extremely rare and important decanter or snuff. Spectacular! | $ 1,100 |
