Physical DescriptionAquamarine glass; mold-blown; rounded collar, pontil mark. Obverse: Jenny Lind, three-quarter view turned to left, wearing broad plain bertha. Large wreath encircling bust. The bust is slightly longer than on GI-104, arrangement of hair different and there is a difference in the size of the bertha. There is also a variation in the wreath. Reverse: view of Glass House which shows variation in design from that on GI-104. The chimneys are quite different and taller and the smoke from the tall central chimney goes almost straight upward instead of turning downward as in all other Jenny Lind bottles with view of glass house. The tall tree at right and small shrub at left are also different. Inscription: "JENNY LIND" above bust and wreath. No period between words. Edges: heavy vertical ribbing, eleven ribs.Provenance
