Description
PILLAR-MOLDED QUART BAR DECANTER, colorless with applied blue ribbons from base to mouth, tall petticoat form with eight protruding ribs, applied wide convex neck ring, and a rounded bar lip ground on interior, polished pontil mark. Extremely rare with blue ribbons continuing to mouth. Attributed to the Pittsburgh area, possibly M'Kee & Brother(s). 1850-1870. 12 1/2" H, 5" D base.
Provenance: From a Mid-Atlantic collection.
"Catalogue note: We could locate no other examples of this decanter with fully extended blue ribbons. The 1859/60 M'Kee & Brother catalog illustrates this petticoat form with convex neck ring described as a ""R. & R. Pillared"" decanter. It was offered in both a pint and a quart size.
A comparison of the Bakewell and M'Kee factory catalogs of the 1860s and 70s seems to indicate that the Bakewell firm used a concave neck ring while M'Kee employed the convex neck ring. However, it cannot be assumed that either style of neck ring was exclusive to these firms."
