Antique Questions Forum / Re: Teapot filled at bottom with handle - Cadogan style but metal not porcelain

« on: May 06, 2019, 06:54:59 pm »

Rauville,
I was thinking perhaps India too, but could only find porcelain and/or pottery examples.

Cogar,
I've seen these referred to as a "Chinese puzzle/Cadogan" teapot.  And, of course out of curiosity, I tried to fill it not quite understanding how it worked at first. Rauville explained it correctly. But, here is a visual.

I think it is about whiskey!

And, that you have an embossed design label from either a whiskey bottle/decanter or a decorative box.  However, I am leaning toward the latter.

By 1799, George Washington had become one of the largest whiskey producers in the United States. The historic Mount Vernon distillery still produces whiskey and spirits today.

https://www.mountvernon.org/the-estate-gardens/distillery/

I was unable to locate your label but did find some interesting recipe facts.

The recipe for Washington’s whiskey was discovered by researchers examining the distillery ledgers from 1798 and 1799. His whiskey consisted of 60% rye, 35% corn and 5% malted barley. The records also indicate that George Washington’s whiskey was distilled at least twice before being sent to market. During Washington’s lifetime whiskey was not aged and was sold in its original form.

Patrick Twohig began as an agent for Fleming Ale circa 1870, at 152 Front St and shortly began his own company bottling Cider Ale and Soda Water at 202 Vance.  By 1880, he had stopped the bottling and had a saloon at 301 Second Street.

This looks very similar including clear feet.  https://www.kovels.com/price-guide/glass-price-guide/coralene.html   I think if you area member of the site you can see the prices in the guide.

Pelady,

That one sold for $115.00 in 2017.

Here is a brief history of the Mt Washington and Pairpoint Society which includes a Mt Washington slide show and image galleries. 

http://www.mwpgs.net/a-brief-history.html

If you click on "Other Gallery", you will find a photo of a Mt Washington vase with amber applied feet as in Jondar's item.


In Bill Bank's "Mount Washington Attribution", he describes the Coralene decoration design process which was patented by Mt Washington in 1885:

Perhaps, you could follow the wooden brush method (without soaking the bristles) in the video.  I know others will have more to say

Mart, I'm not so sure it is French!

Dantes,

Here are three links for a FB Rogers Italy silver plate decanter with plastic ice insert.  They show the same item, but the pictures illustrate the parts in various ways; one includes a box.  Please let me know if this is identical to the one you have.  Thank you!
