Case gin, black glass.Blown in mold. Actually deep olive amber in colour. Standing 10" high, it tapers from 4" at the shoulder to 3" at the base. Applied string lip and possibly a refired pontil. Nice applied shoulder seal with embossed "ALE" or "ADE" depending on how you read the letters. Ca: early 1800's.
