I fell in love with the ruby red color of this piece of glass. The owner of the shop told me that it was a ladies spittoon and that he believed that it was Seneca glass that had been manufactured in West Virginia. I am in PA so I found that logical. However, I know nothing about glass so I am asking for help please.
I wonder if you can provide some dimensions for this piece.
I am so sorry. I am really bad at adding measurements. I will measure and add here soon.
5" across top; bottom approx 6" diameter; approx 4 inches tall
Thanks. I never heard of Seneca making a spitoon. I have seen similar to this made by New Endland glass of what I believe is called Albereniem glass. My spelling is probably wrong. The reason I asked for dimensions is because ladies normally carried a spitoon/cuspidor with them when they were out for a ride etc. Those were much smaller.
Thank you so much for this information! It is very helpful!
