A—Same in opaque light blue glass, exceedingly rare.

[11.] Eight sided flaring salt, earliest period, fine stippled background with rose, fleur de lis and beautifully designed American eagle on bottom. The eagle is in flight with olive branch in one claw three arrows in the other and a shield on its breast. The author considers this one of the rarest Sandwich salts ever found. It is like a bit of old lace.

[14.] Presentation salt, unusually large, early type, on ornamental base with scroll bracket feet, shielded ends with two eagles’ heads, marked Providence on bottom. A—Same in blue glass with oak leaf on bottom, all types of this salt are very rare. They were a special order at the Sandwich works and very few have been found. We know of only one specimen in the deep blue.

Very rare.
