POPCORN PITKIN

American Popcorn Pitkin

The pattern on this Pitkin flask looks like rows of corn on a cob, giving it this name.  A Pitkin is a type of bottle originally made in The Pitkin Glass Works in Manchester, CT (1788-1830). They were made later in other parts of New England and in the Midwest (e. g. Zanesville, Ohio 1810-1830).  The Pitkin flask is based on an older technique called the German, “Half-Post Method”.

H: 6 inches

1810-1830
