DescriptionThe ridge just below the neck of this bottle is a result of the manufacturing process called the half-post method, meaning that a second gather of molten glass was applied to the first, without covering it completely. The glassblower impressed a pattern on each gather with a dip mold, resulting in both vertical and swirled ridges.
ProvenancePrincess Julia Grant Cantacuzene (1876–1975); [Samuel H. Laidacker (1904–1994), Bristol, Pennsylvania]; purchased by Miss Ima Hogg, 1958; given to MFAH, by 1966.
