This is an *extremely difficult* thing to get pictures of, here's about the best my phonecam could muster, sorry...
This decorative bottle measures 8" tall, 4" wide, and 2-1/2" thick. It features a depiction of Paul Revere on horseback with the date 1775 on its front, (pic3) an eagle with shield and arrows crest appears on the back side, (pic 4) its upper portion has shaped and textured angled shoulders below the actual neck. (pic 4) Its bottom reads "WHEATON, N. J." with a copyright symbol and a few tiny spots that might be a date code somehow, I don't know how to read or decipher that if so.

I do have a few memories, I think, of WHEATONWARE being a 'not sold in stores' kinda thing when I was young -- my Mom had a modest collection of their amber colored glass in both decorative and utilitarian pieces, the everyday tableware was supposed to be heatproof and durable like Pyrex. I believe she obtained hers via 'home party' events hosted at somebody's actual house instead, she might have even hosted one or two herself.
This blue bottle wasn't from her collection, I think it came from a thrift store instead both because it is pretty blue colored to catch sunlight, and because I remembered the WHEATONWARE name as something "collectable"... :-)
