DESCRIPTION

An aqua quart that was blown a reworked "A STONE" mold to read "THE GREAT EASTERN PHILADa E.T WHITEHEAD". Original threaded glass stopper with correct GREAT EASTERN/ETWHITEHEAD lettering. Fine condition with no damage or stains. Even the internal screw threads are in good shape with minimal flaking, which is rare to find. There is a small flake on the edge of the glass lid.

The GREAT EASTERN was a British passenger steamship first launched in 1859, and later converted to a cable-laying ship, which became famous for laying 2600 miles of the first transatlantic telegraph cable in 1865.

This fine example of the jar was obtained from the ALEX KERR collection.
