This small blown, US or Continental pocket flask is an ovoid and flattened shape made by the “Half-Post Method”. In this method a gather of glass called a post is put back in the pot and a second gather is put on it so it covers about half of the post. It is then put in a vertical ribbed pattern mold and partly expanded and removed from the mold then swirled right or left. Also there are types in which the ribs are left in the vertical position.

Stands 5” tall; rough pontil. Overall excellent condition, no chips or cracks.  [ld][ph:L]
