Warranted Flask — Early American Glass
This pale aqua glass flask is believed to date from approximately 1895–1915, during a period when molded glass bottles were widely used for spirits and other commercial products. The embossed words "WARRANTED FLASK" were associated with assurances about bottle capacity rather than a particular manufacturer. Its flattened shape, rounded mouth, small bubbles, and manufacturing irregularities are characteristic of antique glass bottles of the period. The bottle's exact manufacturer is unknown. Its surviving embossed lettering, aqua color, and aged appearance offer a glimpse into American glassmaking more than a century ago.
