Crude early American teakettle form greenish-aqua ink bottle. The color is a New Jersey greenish aqua with several swirling amber striations in the neck and lip area. This ink is eight-sided with a domed top and a beveled edge at the edge of the base. The ink bottle has small seed bubbles throughout with crude wavy glass on the eight panels. It has an unfinished opening with no collar or cap with the typical grinding roughness.
