Aqua, mold blown whiskey bottle with a rough pontil.  This bottle was blown in a two-part mold and was finished using the blowpipe, rather than a more upscale pontil iron.  The glass is totally "whittled", which means it has taken on an interesting honeycomb design over the entire body.  This effect is caused when hot glass is blown in a cold metal mold.  Standing 10 7/8" high, it was used for serving, storing and transporting whiskey.  Made in the US 1830-1860, pinpointing an exact location will be difficult because these bottles were blown in glasshouses in the East as well as factories all along the Ohio River.  [lj] [ph:L]
