- Identify the category first: utility bottle, poison bottle, medicine, perfume, dairy, snuff, or bottle vase.
- Document color shade, base, lip, pontil or mold seams, marks, stopper, label, size, and condition.
- Do not price a bottle from color alone. The object type controls the market.
Key value drivers
Strong cobalt color, fine maker, early hand-blown construction, decorative-arts quality, rare form, intact stopper, and clean condition can help. Common blue glass, chips, cracks, sick glass, residue, and misidentified bottle vases can change the result.
